Once outside Ophidian was thrown away from Iron as she shifted into the same massive bird she used to fly there.<span style="color: #ff8000">"Your demon caused this and I ended it!" </span>She took off skyward and was soon gone.<span style="color: #5900b3"> "Never again, Whisperia... never bring that monster to my home again." </span><span style="color: #ff0000">"Oh shut up, you can't fault Whisperia for this." </span>Karrie picked up Monia's corpse and inspected the wounds carefully.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Interesting... And unfortunate." </span>She stuck her hand into Monia's chest and dug around for a moment before pulling a dimly flickering shard from it and shaking off some of the gore that stuck to it.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I might need a new succubus." </span>She held the crystal up to the light and let out a sigh.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Because I like you, Whisperia, I'm not going to use her soul to summon a new succubus."</span>With a shrug she dropped the body and it burst into hellfire until nothing remained.<span style="color: #5900b3">"Wha-what do you mean a new one? You're a warlock! You can bring her back, can't you? She was a good one! Sh-" </span>Kitori yelped as Karrie threw the shard at her.<span style="color: #ff0000">"There's very little left of her to bring back, a stroke of bad luck I guess. Her soul shard was damaged."</span><span style="color: #5900b3">"Then FIX it!"</span><span style="color: #ff0000">"It's just a demon, why are you so upset?" </span>Kitori's eyes welled up with tears and she struck the warlock with every bit of strength she could muster, flooring the human hard enough to draw blood when she hit the ground.<span style="color: #5900b3">"How can you be so cold!? She was a person and I liked her! Ophidian liked her too!"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
