Meesei remained close enough to Lunise that she could speak quietly in her ear. "It is an experience I wish I could give you. As a pack, our lives are bound together. We work for each other, and rely upon one another, so it was easier for me to raise a daughter than it perhaps could have been. I would have hated to have been forced apart from her for months on end. Unfortunately, I cannot impregnate you, so I cannot give you a child by blood." 

A warm grin formed on Meesei's face as she continued to observe Sabine and Karl. "Although...if their love is as true as they feel it is, then perhaps one day, we could share the experience of being grandparents?"

"Can I pull it off? Of course. Do'rhajul and his ilk aren't all-knowing, and they can be outwitted. But, I can't guarantee it. Anything could go wrong, at any point. I'll feel a bit better with something close by to back me up, but still...no guarantees. If I'm spotted at the wrong time, or at the wrong spot, then they might just cut me down right then and there, no matter how many reinforcements there are. All we can do is reduce the risk as much as possible."

Ahnasha took another, even larger swig. She definitely was not looking to pace herself. "Never tell Rhazii about this. He'd worry himself to death if he knew I was willing to try something like this. But, it has to be done; no getting around it. We deal with Do'rhajul, kill that dragon, then we invade Oblivion. After that, I'm done. No more suicidal missions, no more impossible odds, I'm going to retire from all of this. Besides, once you've killed a god, there isn't really anything left to hunt, is there?"
