Order nodded to The'kal as she explained and then she sighed softly.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "when she is in control of her emotions and instincts she is utterly kind, but the second someone she loves is in mortal danger and she is faced with an obstacle she becomes violently aggressive, belligerent and utterly irrational... Explorer was asked here to save Elune's life but he had questions and he didn't like the answers he was given so he refused to help."</span>she looked at Delithia before she slowly grinned in a way which would tickle the Priestess' submissive streak.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "don't make me prove otherwise."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0000">"that is such a tired joke... i still have all my fingers after thirty years, i don't think i will be losing any anytime soon."</span>she jumped slightly when Erin appeared and then looked at the floating water and her jaw dropped a little.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "seriously? i... go put that back! what the hell are we gonna do with several hundred fish? we need three, tops."</span>she shook her head and raised one hand to block the beam even though Jim stopped and the fact that she still would have gotten knocked on her ass.<span style="color: #ff0000">"oh, she did, completely crazy."</span><br/><br/>Ophidian was waiting for Ras on the balcony with a selection of drinks.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "i cracked Karrie's vaults wide and know all of her secrets."</span>he motioned for Ras to take a seat before he continued.<span style="color: #ff8000">"the priestess let the pirates rape her, in fact she read their minds and knew what they planned and she went along on purpose. i thought she had found a way to lie to me at first but it makes sense. an untrained Eternal Hybrid expresses their powers to be what they think they are but they still have enough power to level cities, if the priestess had wanted them to stop she could have thrown up a barrier that a cannon wouldn't crack. yes, she went out to the jungle to have sex with an animal because she has no innate inhibitions but when she stumbled on the pirates she saw an opportunity to draw you home. so in a fit of loneliness she went with them knowing what they would do and that her father and her hero would come to save her. nothing the pirates did bothered her, she was enjoying it as she awaited your inevitable appearance right up to the night they found out she was pregnant. in her naivety she never considered that they would hurt the children she already knew she was carrying but all it took was that first unexpected and 'lucky' kick to kill the children... they kept kicking her but it didn't matter. that first kick killed her children, her faith in people and her faith in her hero, you."</span>he sipped his mug of ale and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "the priestess blames herself for her dead children, she blamed her lust for the whole situation, hence the Succubus and then, when the pain faded and for the first time she felt true hatred and rage the Warlock formed. the Warlock is a lost cause, she has never loved anyone or anything, she is an incarnation of hatred and can know nothing else. the priestess is beyond my power and knowledge... i could contain and tame Rayne but i could never help her and i had forty years with her. free of the Warlock's hate and the priestess' fear and guilt i think the Succubus will be fine, for a Succubus."</span>he took another drink and frowned a little.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i spent the last eighteen hours confronting them with these facts, i forced the priestess to admit the truth... she tried lie to me and say they had magic blocking shackles but that is a lie, she never even tried to shield herself, she didn't want them to stop, she liked it."</span>he shook his head and took another drink.<span style="color: #ff8000">"the priestess wants to go back to Rachel... when she saw how dominant Rachel got with that Blood Elf she is the one who flew into a jealous rage because that is how she wants Rachel to treat her, in fact she wants to be more roughly treated. the Succubus wants to go back because she is the one with the purest love for Rachel, she is the one who would marry the Death Knight, settle down and have children."</span>he set his mug down to look at Ras.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i have separated them and made matching chokers that can maintain the soul link that will keep them sane over roughly a one mile radius. they are both responsive but exhausted from the brutal mental battle that they have been waging against me. the Succubus is utterly furious with the priestess, believing the lies that Karrie has been spewing for most of her life. the priestess, stripped of her lies and forced to admit the truth is timid but not catatonic... she has lived in terror of someone finding out the truth, now that the truth is known she is only mildly afraid of people's reactions to it."</span>he stared at Ras and took a deep breath.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i didn't tell the priestess but i enchanted her collar, she is no longer capable of lying or even trying to bend the truth, she will speak the brutal truth or she will be silent. she made a big show of herself telling me what she would tell you i did and what you would do about it. i will cooperate in any measures you decide to take to ensure my honesty and i fully admit that all of this has been a brutal, even criminal invasion of her mind and her privacy, one could even call it mental rape. but she is calm and no longer suicidal, in fact she is almost polite. the Succubus is just homesick for Rachel and livid at the priestess but though she won't admit it she is grateful to me that she knows the truth. the warlock is safely imprisoned for eternity and will never harm either of them again."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
