<span style="color: #a64dff">"Then imagine how far I'll go when there's half the village watching me shove a dildo into your ass. I think I'll ask The'kal to make us a custom bench down there just for me to use you on." </span>Vyre nodded and snuggled against Ashia.<span style="color: #a64dff">"I will, but I'm still mad about him revealing my past so if I kick his ass I'll need other options."</span><br/><br/>The'kal listened to Gears and looked at Order as if hoping she would argue.<span style="color: #666600">"I... when you put it that way it makes sense. This isn't something I wanted to have to deal with after coming out of a coma. Gears- It's my fault Melody is even in this position. Order and even most of our people will argue, but I should have been there to stop the... events that nearly wiped out our people. I should have been stronger. They were able to manipulate me too easily and countless people died or worse beca-" </span><span style="color: #b3b300">"Because you were a child? What were you going to do? Throw a temper tantrum and hope you annoyed them enough that they just left you alone?" </span>The corrupted The'kal appeared across the room and managed to do so without alerting Order or any other Eternals to her presence. While her physical shell looked identical to The'kal's, the native Eternal wore simple robes while the corrupted one wore an elegant dress that would make even a Highborne jealous.<span style="color: #b3b300">"Continuing to blame yourself for what your parents did is stupid and unproductive. You were created to do exactly what you did, you were groomed, beaten, bribed into being the perfect little Empress and then when that nasty little free will of yours reared its ugly head they planted the seed in you." </span>The corrupted one stared directly at Order as she spoke, but try as she might Order wouldn't be able to locate the corrupted Eternal's true body.<span style="color: #b3b300">"Melody is a treasure, and her friendship is one you should cherish. You're too stupid and worthless to save her, too broken... even more broken than Order, her cracks are only surface deep compared to yours." </span>The'kal narrowed her eyes and shielded the two mortals.<span style="color: #666600"> "I would do anything for Melody, I owe her that much." </span><span style="color: #b3b300">"Owe her? Then she'll die sad and alone. Because you didn't listen to a single word this mortal said. Perhaps I'll just go kill her now and save her the trouble of dealing with you?" </span><span style="color: #666600">"You wouldn't!"</span><span style="color: #b3b300">"Really? Because I just finished hunting down the rest of the hostile Time Lost being that you dragged to this world. I slayed my own kin, you think I wouldn't kill one more child who is already suffering? Take the mortal's advice and act like an adult or I'll take everything from you." </span>The'kal growled angrily but didn't try to do anything being so close to the mortals. The corrupted one approached Order and looked at her face.<span style="color: #b3b300"> "Seraphim... you always did fancy them. I saved them for you, as many as I could. They're in suspended animation, but have no world. I would be happy to give them to you, but I cannot create a world for them. The corruption has given me much, but has taken even more. The next time I visit this reality I will give you access to my vault where they are stored. And there is enough for them to safely restore their population naturally."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
