Karrie picked at her food as she listened and nodded slowly.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "Th... thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I'll be hard for me to... to act on it, but I know as long as I have you in my life I know I can continue to count on you. I just hope that she accepts that I'm not as submissive as the priestess. I have a lot of concerns about my future, my life, and... everything else going on." </span>She jumped a little as she dropped her fork and let out a sigh.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "I'm getting into my own head again."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #666600">"It just gives me a reason to break out of this prison and drag her sobbing into a black hole." </span>She snorted and shook her head.<span style="color: #666600"> "We were getting nowhere, it was just luck. And even if you could help me how would they know to free us?" </span>The'kal stared at Melody and let her speak uninterrupted but when she finished the world began to spin around them so fast the fake star became nothing but blurs and reality around them began to come apart at the seams as Melody struck a sensitive nerve in her fellow Eternal.<span style="color: #666600">"I have wanted nothing more than to settle down into a simple life with Ashia. It's why I tried to steal her away from Vyre in the first place. Why I made her all those promises why I've... made so many mistakes."</span>If Melody hadn't known The'kal as well as she did would be concerned by the considerable amount of damage happening around her as stars were forced into creation and launched burning across the false sky and into the barrier and planet.<span style="color: #666600">"I wanted Ashia to have less children but higher quality. I wanted her only children to be the ones I gave her. If I had my way I'd rip the womb out of every woman on that continent and send them all back to the slums they came from! Ashia was supposed to be mine! She was supposed to be... be the one thing I could be selfish about... my mate..."</span>Everything came to a sudden stop as if time itself had froze before reversing and undoing all the damage or causing more, it wasn't immediately clear.<span style="color: #666600">"But I wasn't good enough for her, she wanted more than I could give her... I could have made new bodies, any way she wanted, all she had to do was ask. But you think I would have sentenced children to death over it? Are you accusing me of murdering those children!?" </span>She advanced on Melody and grabbed her in a flash.<span style="color: #666600">"I should kill you where you stand for even implying I meant to do this."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
