Moonspear I will die your daughter.

The stillness of Noe i ka Lani was not odd for her, but he checked to ensure she was stunned or stubborn rather than not breathing nonetheless.

Pushing his daughter to a stand with aching limbs and all, it was not so difficult to move her along now. I should apologize for her behaviour. He grunts, tail swishing with a clear and well-reasoned irritation. She's impulsive. I can't say why she tried to attack you, however. It was strange, really. You weren't grazed at all, were you?

He should have listened when his mother spoke of her prophecy, he should have denied Leilani when she begged him to run from it with her. Maybe then he would not have found himself shackled to a devil.
