the vehicle slowed and Jass' knuckles turned white on the controls.<span style="color: #b3b300">"the first question Chaera would ask is where are our children... how... how do i tell her that our children were... killed and their souls devoured? how do i tell her i hid in an ancient bomb shelter while our children were slaughtered?"</span>he nodded a little, staring at the road.<br/><br/>Ashia pressed one finger to Ruby's lips and she shhhed her.<span style="color: #404040">"don't. i am sure you mean this as some manner of comfort but... it doesn't matter if they were killed today or the moment i was stupid enough to give them to The'kal. my children are dead and i am in pain. that is all that matters, the rest is meaningless since no matter which Eternal is responsible they are beyond my powers of revenge."</span>Vyre would feel the residual heat in Ashia's chest and only the Elf's supernatural durability kept her from getting severely burnt.<span style="color: #404040"> "i know that, it's one of the reasons i haven't apologized for breaking Spite's nose and have no intention to do so. she had no right to spew such hateful lies to my face in my home."</span>she looked at the child and then at Ruby, tears still steaming off her face.<span style="color: #404040">"i know, and she is beautiful. Spite will never get another child from me or anything else for that matter. i will take care of my child with her but Spite will never be forgiven for what she said and tried to do."</span>Ruby being a fire breather was immune to being burnt but even so she would feel the searing heat inside Ashia slowly cooling.<span style="color: #404040">"thank you." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
