<span style="color: red">"I'll ask around anyways, who knows, maybe I'll be able to steal a few of them away for a quick drink. Jasmine certainly wasn't busy. At the very least I'll get Shauna to come over and say hello, I know she liked me."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: olive">"I don't think so." </span>She closed her eyes for a moment and shook her head.<span style="color: olive"> "Leave those two alone. Don't give them a reason to destroy anything else. I'm going to take a long look at their bloodline, if they come from someone like me I want to know who and where they are." </span>She looked into the water and shrugged a bit.<span style="color: olive">"You've lived this long without me, a little bit of happiness and pleasure followed by being cold and alone for the rest of your life. Isn't that the way of mortals? You are right, though, I have the power to create whatever I desire, destroy whatever I desire. But sometimes I just want to be with other people and I like you because you're independent, I don't have to worry about you or constantly be by your side. We can live our lives separately from each other and still be happy together. And should the time come, if you ever want to be something different I can change you, you don't have to die as a dragon, or an abomination, you can be a perfectly normal person. Vyre wasn't using you, you were a good mate for her but she's a mistress and isn't truly happy if she's not caring for a pet. You're better for her than Ibara ever could be." </span>She nodded after a moment and smiled.<span style="color: olive"> "I know, Ashia. I know. This is a beautiful lake, I guess we'll have to build a new home near it. Fill it with children, be a happy couple, live as normally as we can. A goddess and her dragon."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
