<span style="color: olive">"Her incompetence saved you a fate worse than death, if I had your attention for a week I couldn't list all the downsides of being a Trollish god. That you are, it's why I left you to wake up on your own rather than running any more magic through you than needed. Soothing your pain wouldn't serve you any real use right now. Well you're more than welcome to practice flying here, you could leap off the temple and practice gliding here, it's a straight shot. When designing cities for spirits things have to be simple, or bad things can happen."</span>The'kal shook her head and looked back at Ashia.<span style="color: olive">"No, you were personally weak. By dragon and mortal standards, it may have been why you were sold off in the first place, what good is a dragon to a mortal if they have no power? I tried running some power through you to see what would happen and the results were not pretty. There are ways around it, should you decide that you want to be a full drake again... but the process to undo it all would be rough. The spells wouldn't be as bad coming out as they would going in since I redid all of them into a far more efficient pattern, but it'll still be bad for us both."</span>She smiled a bit and shrugged.<span style="color: olive"> "I like helping people, even if I some times help the wrong person and end up getting a blade rammed through my skull."</span>The goddess stretched out with a yawn and looked up at the sky.<span style="color: olive"> "I was ten when I became a goddess, I was the goddess of mothers, fertility, beauty, and desire before I had even hit puberty. I was ten when I was asked to rob an old man thinking I was helping someone. I was ten when I was caught, butchered, and sacrificed. I don't hate the man who did this to me though, I see it as a blessing. Sure I'm widely hated by most Trolls and considered the bringer of evil to nearly every tribe, a title which is technically correct, but I get to do what I love the most. Helping others, I am happy when I see other people happy."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
