the moment Ras involved the village Order appeared and knocked their heads together so hard their skulls fractured and she threw them both to the ground and ripped their souls from their bodies.<span style="color: #ffff00">"congratulations, you waged war and now you're dead. did you think you were clever? terrorizing each other's children as a means of fighting is not only disgusting but not nearly clever enough to circumvent my decree."</span>she looked between them, Ashia in her original drake form and Ras, a vaguely shapeless humanoid with no distinct race. neither would be capable of communicating though Ashia at least had facial features and expression and she looked betrayed and distraught.<span style="color: #ffff00">"don't look at me that way. you knew what you were doing and so did he... and all of this because you wouldn't stop violating Ashia's rights as a parent. the only say you had was whether or not her children were welcome in your home. that's it. she decided they were not allowed to come here and you had no right to interfere. if Emily wanted to argue that was her right and if she needed a mediator she knew how to contact Trinity or myself. you knew that your involvement would only enrage Ashia and here we are. you goaded her into attacking you and then you retaliated. you're souls will linger for one day but your only powers will be to move at the speed of thought. go and say your silent farewells to your families. i hope it was worth it to lose everything."</span>she released her hold on them so they could move and looked at their bodies, paying no more attention to the disembodied, powerless and silent souls. if they stayed to watch she conjured Ras' famous chains bursting through Ashia's chest and then vanishing as the power faded and then she waved one hand, ripping Ras' chest open just as if Ashia's claws had done it. she repaired their fractured skulls leaving it to seem as though they had killed each other before she sealed the corpses to prevent any mortal from resurrecting them. she sighed sadly and then turned to walk away from them, heading south away from Ras' house making sure to leave no trace of her presence for Kitori or Relene to track.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
