Draiss held the tired and terrified goddess for a moment, stroking her back and soothing her, before teleporting the two of them back to the temple he had been frequenting when allowed so they could at least be comfortable. They relaxed in the high priestesses room, Draiss having quietly asked for some privacy while he dealt with Reekesha's issues. The high priestess had started when he mentioned her name, before paling when Draiss nodded, before withdrawing to give them some privacy. He was glad to note the priestesses were back to normal, and the quick check he had permitted himself before focusing on Reekesha proved that his statue was back to normal.<br/><br/>He listened to the story, and stared at Reekesha, coldly furious with her, and moving to the opposite side of the bed from her. "She was your mother, and you did that anyways? Can I please get a reason for it before I decide to just walk away and let you fade out as well? That is what is likely to happen in a couple generations, unless you turn things around right now. I helped, but I doubt you could have done something similar, especially with that lordling. He would have raided and broken this temple from you, and then gone on to the others to finish..."<br/><br/>He forced himself to stop and relax, before waiting for her reason. Once she had explained, he nodded to the door. "The high priestess is waiting outside, making sure we aren't disturbed. I want you to call her in and explain why Keeshara is gone, what I had to do to get you back, and then ask for her forgiveness. She has served you, and by extension your mother and the former Warrior, all her life, and just when she was getting them all back, you banish me, and consume your mother. If she forgives you, I will."
