Nyaka sneered up at Ras and Shauna but remained silent for the time being. Ras shook his head and turned away from her. "Only three times? I figured she would have actively hunted you down, or at least tried to, when she found out it was you. Huh, you hate that I had a son with Sharindia so much that you were willing to release Mar'li and send her after my mother. That bothers me, that bothers me a lot. Although... well, never mind."<span style="color: darkorange">"I wouldn't kill The'kal, killing her would have defeated the purpose of sending Mar'li in the first place, if The'kal's dead the magic allowing Sharindia to remain fertile would be safe. But if tortured and weakened her powers would be vulnerable and Sharindia would lose the child and possibly more whenever she returned to the timeline. And I would happily die if that's what it would cost for me to take away Sharindia's fertility and remove her from your life." </span>Ras let out a low sigh and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I did... I questioned my decision to have my son with you Sharindia, every day after I got you pregnant I wondered if I had made a mistake. Nyaka's reaction, someone who has always been there for me, is making me think I might have... don't get me wrong, you gave me everything you promised me that day and then some. I want you to let Nyaka go, I want- no I'm telling you to apologize to her, and I want you to do everything in your power to make things right with her. I want there to be no bad blood between you two when next I see you."<span style="color: darkorange">"I want nothing to do with that woman!" </span>"Then you have no place in my life, same goes for you Sharindia, I won't have you two feuding like this anymore."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
