It was almost too much.  She was about to break, to lose her grip on her own will and start to scream like he wants her too.  Screw the fact it would bring him pleasure.  Forget that she'd fought so long already.  She needs to release this pain somehow!<br/><br/>Then he makes a mistake.  His words strike a chord within her... the fact that he said this was all she'd ever amount to.  She can see her hands in front of her, the back of one scaled, the other not far behind.  The claws her fingernails are becoming.  And the words that  Xy had said.<em>Shapeshifting, nigh-invincible armor, and magical prowess. Tied to the earth, the water, air, fire.</em>These were things this simple beast would never be able to achieve.  His words were simply his way of trying to push past that, of trying to put himself above a higher creature.  And seeing it as such makes her all the more certain she won't give in to him.
