"Elerona and I have always gotten along well, maybe I can talk to her on your behalf? But I'm scared of losing Karrie while she's so vulnerable right now, I wish I could get her back into Rachel's arms and then get the priestess there later but I don't know if Rachel wants Karrie back at this point." Ras snorted and shook his head. "I've had myself sterilized so I can focus on caring for these children I have now. Ashia won't stop and she'll never pause for even an instant to look at the children she's created. I'd be genuinely surprised if she kept Vyre around for much longer now that she's knocked her up too like any other whore off the street. Do you like Vyre? Is that where this is coming from? I know you have your little firecracker of a priestess but you said Ashia has a fine taste in women but the only woman she's pursued was Vyre."<br/><br/><span style="color: #666600">"I didn't know what to do and I still don't, I've never had someone stand up to me like you have and it... makes me happy when you do. You're fragile and vulnerable to my power so it makes me stop and think about what I do so that you don't get hurt, but I didn't think enough about what I said. Of course I didn't want to let you die, I was convinced our people needed you and I... I wanted you. I still want you, Melody. But now I just want you to be happy and with your family. I'm sure they miss you as much as you miss them. That's why... that's why I'm going to get us out of here no matter what it takes. All we need is a stroke of luck, we may be powerless in here but my body isn't. One stray bolt of power, one errant twitch, anything could bring this prison tumbling down."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
