The Wolf nuzzled against Kalian but his eye no longer sat right in his head from the succubus' punch. The priestess spat at Ophidian and ran back to Kalian and the wolf while the succubus rubbed where she was hit.<span style="color: #b30000"> "I'm pathetic? Tell me about Vyre, Nyarien, and Kalian again. Will the child you carry now be as broken and unloved? I have an Eternal stopping me, what's your excuse for your hateful and violent daughter? Your emotionally stunted granddaughter or even your own son? Who is so desperate for attention he came to me. You're not just pathetic, you're a failure." </span><span style="color: #ff9999">"We do like you, little brother."</span>The priestess gently held onto Kalian's arm, while the succubus picked up the dagger she had used to stab Muse and headed back towards Muse's studio.<br/><br/>Muse shook her head and buried her face in Elune's neck.<span style="color: #cc99ff">"It's just... Really hard to believe you right now. With everything that's been going on I... I love you but I've spent my entire existence being extra. It's always been about her and, and nobody wants me because I look like a demon. Karrie purified me, I'm safe for you, I endured having every fiber of my being purified for you... And not once have I ever felt the same kind of affection from you that Sahra got. I'm always an afterthought to you, I bet I'd still be out there bleeding if Sahra was awake."</span>Elune would hear no anger in her horned lover's voice, just years of pain and sadness finally bubbling to the surface.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
