Ras shook his head a bit and poked Ibara but didn't push the issue any further, instead turning his attention on Amere and pulling her into his lap.<br/><br/>The priestess folded her arms and sighed.<span style="color: purple">"It wasn't private, there were others that worked with me, others that trained me, gave me an outlet for The Shadow... you wouldn't understand, you're dead, you have nobody to care about, no dreams, hopes, no future to look forward to. The only person to ever give a damn about you is gone, possessed by a demon and probably plotting to destroy you and the city, along with everyone in it. My daughter may have killed Shella Purestrand, but these people have given me a reason to carry on, now I do it the only way I can. Show my face in public to help out wherever I can, and retreat to the shadows when the cracks begin to show until I can regain control. No, Death Knight, those I killed were immediate threats to the safety or peace of this city, everyone else has been released or imprisoned, you don't know what I do or how I work, you only know what you were told. I don't wrongly accuse anyone of anything, I am fair, I can be kind and loving, and I am a good person... I'm just imperfect."</span>She narrowed her eyes which were now a deep purple, her anger beginning to show despite doing her best to contain it.<span style="color: purple">"I know I wouldn't have gotten a fair trial, one look into my mind and you could have convicted me without asking a single question. I've been apart of enough trials in this city to know how they work. Shauna is lucky to be alive, I can't even count on my daughter to break the neck of a dirty blood..."</span>"Priestess?" A few of the members of the crowd were looking at Shella with concerned looks but the majority still looked ready to attack Rachel at any moment.<span style="color: purple">"It was a Naga and a demon, neither of them were people and what I did was not against the law... I--"</span>She grabbed her head as her hair turned deep purple and pushed through the crowd off towards the shadows of Murder Row, some of the spectators following after her but before Rachel could follow she was tackled from behind by an Orc and struck in the back of the head repeatedly before several more people joined in hitting and kicking every inch of Rachel they could.<br/><br/>Elerona let out a barely audible snarl as the Gnome left and jumped a bit as Susan spoke.<span style="color: Indigo">"Apparently Aellith's mother got herself in trouble and they want me to go get Aellith, from what I'm getting from Aellith she's about to snap the Paladin's neck and crush the warlock's soul for what they're doing to her then go meet her new owners. I don't know why her thoughts are so... hostile or why she doesn't want to come home, but I'm not going to argue and just stay out of it."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
