"Well you were living with your grandmother so I don't know what all of my life you know, I also figured you were from a different timeline." Ras nodded and started to slice up some vegetables while the stove heated up. "Good, I didn't think I'd need to tell you but I just wanted to be sure. When I was your age the last thing I wanted was to be around children,." He nodded in agreement and let out a low sigh, his voice going directly into his son's mind as he turned to grill their breakfast. "I'm very much aware, I don't think Jade is beyond redemption but... I find myself wondering if she's really be worth the effort? She's so young and twisted, even her own mother is a broken shell. But Elune needs Sahra, as much as it makes my blood boil to admit, and I don't know if Sahra would be able to handle losing her child."<br/><br/>The'kal shrugged and looked at her claws for a moment, admiring her reflection in their golden shine.<span style="color: olive">"I can't say, Elves are very different from Trolls. They do everything slower and I didn't think they still went into heat, when I was... very young when they had stopped, or at least it became a rarity. Elune turning Vyre back into an Elf must have set her back much further than she may have realized."</span>She smirked a bit at the growl and nodded.<span style="color: olive">"Oh I do, and I know why she fears it. There's a child, a daughter named Asuka, who was the spawn of Ras and Vyre, she's an unstable and very powerful nightmare. Not that I really care, Asuka is the way she is because of Sharindia's attempts to kill her off. My son deserves a strong mate with a controllable reproductive system, to ensure the child is strong and healthy. Your blood? Oh no, not at all, but Vyre's blood has been reinforced by a dragon's, you don't think her strength is natural do you? That she can keep up with you in bed and recover even faster? She's hearty, sure, but she's almost as unnatural as you are."</span>The'kal nodded once and looked back at Ashia.<span style="color: olive"> "My son, he gave her a very powerful and heavily customized Orb of Deception. A rare and powerful item made even more so by ancient spells and hard to come by ingredients. And yes, you could use the same method, though getting him to make you an orb is something I can't help with." </span>She leaned back and folded her arms, her smirk widening into a grin.<span style="color: olive">"Haggle over debts? You think too lowly of me, no, I want you to give Ras to Vyre and keep his family from interfering. While she's pregnant you can work on repaying your debt to me, and of course, I'll grant my blessing of protection to you and your daughter, and any future children you have with Vyre. Your son, unfortunately, has been deemed eh... unfit for the protection of the Loa. But there you have it, Ashia, you have information, you now know what I want, and you are free to make your decisions regarding the future of your wife."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
