Ophidian looked at Lonnie and despite his reptilian face it was obvious that he was telling Lonnie he was full of shit.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "i know precisely what phosphorus is, my mother separately invented it in her fight against the Scourge, the Forsaken and the Scarlet Crusade... your old enough you might have heard of Britomart Alexi Belant."</span>he nodded again and then refilled Lonnie's mug and moved it closer to him.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "your orders were altered Lonnie... the papers were real, the signature was real, the seal was real. the fucking messenger was a traitor, he would give the scouts undoctored orders and then he would change the firing coordinates before he gave them to your unit. there was no way you could have known and he got away with it one more time before he was caught. you weren't the only one to make mistakes... i got cocky, disobeyed orders and with my mother's name ringing in my head i went behind enemy lines alone to rescue a group of prisoners the scouts had reported. there were no prisoners... i slithered right into a fucking trap."</span><br/><br/>Sharindia nodded and then frowned.<span style="color: #003366">"yes it is, and still growing. Harpies are not beasts, they were the victims of a curse Azshara laid on them ten thousand years ago that turned them into feral monsters... Eru is as sweet and loving as Anna and she has been very good for Ras. she is a bit simple, the curse did some irreparable damage but sometimes simple is just what he needs. Order lifted the curse on the Harpies so your baby sister will not suffer from that. and having heard that tone i think i know why Ashia and you have a problem."</span>she looked at Athena and sighed softly.<span style="color: #003366">"i, more then any other person on this planet understand feeling superior to others... and it took me nearly sixteen thousand years to learn this so please, please listen to me Athena. even when you are superior, showing disdain for others will only make you enemies. you will hurt people you care about, you will pass up chances to have friends and lovers, you could destroy your whole life if you let that Highborne instinct run free. Anna is a simple Human, powerless, uneducated and to be honest a little bit stupid and an utter coward. but she is also utterly kind, more loving then i could ever be and the perfect woman for my daughter, i would be proud if Vyre were to marry her and i will love my grandbabies even though i fear Vyre will never let me near them... i may have bent fate over a barrel and fucked that whore in the ass so hard she gave me my Vyre back from the depths of the sea... but the little bitch got her revenge and made Vyre hate me for it."</span>she reached up to wipe away a tear and shook her head.<span style="color: #003366">"I'm sorry, I'm pregnant and I'm always more emotional when I'm pregnant." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
