Ras blinked at his daughter and pulled her into his arms. "I guess you don't really know much about my childhood, do you?" He took a breath and then sighed softly. "I wasn't originally born to Arlokk and The'kal. I don't even know who my first father was, but I was born crippled and sick. My mother and older brother would carry me to The'kal's temple and beg for her blessing. She eventually told them to leave me there, and the next time my mother became pregnant I would be reborn healthy and strong. She was murdered on the way to the village. So that left The'kal in a bit of a predicament, she's no liar so she took me and gave me to another woman who wanted a child. So I was reborn healthy and strong as promised. When I was around Kalian's age I was captured and sacrificed. And you'll both get a kick out of this, Arlokk was the one who demanded the sacrifice. To punish Arlokk and his followers, she mated with him and shattered his mind then rebuilt him to be the man we all know and love today. And I grew up murdering people for a living. Smiles all around, really. But no, I never had a chance to even think about marriage or even women."<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0000">"You're full of shit and you know it! You only want me to- just fucking sedate her! You're not going to make any progress arguing with someone who is struggling not to piss herself in terror!" </span>Karrie grabbed her head and screamed in frustration as the two sides fought for control. When she calmed down it was plenty obvious the priestess won out again when she grabbed the whittle from Ophidian and tried to stab him with it.<br/><br/>Ana shrugged a little and twisted around in Rachel's arms so she was laying on her back and looking up at the ceiling<span style="color: #ff99cc">. "Nobody really knows. Most people think they'll end up looking like Ashia, which is honestly why a lot of the women want rid of the eggs as soon as possible. It's certainly why I signed up to have mine taken away. But I suppose it doesn't matter if I'll be raising it with you. I kinda figured a Troll with a Human name wouldn't be too good with names, but I was hoping you would surprise me. I guess we'll figure something out."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
