Ahnasha huffed, almost looking like she was about to laugh. "Do you honestly think that your father was close to besting her? Is that what you took away from that fight? She was testing him, Fendros. She allowed him to hit that blood shield of hers as hard as he could, and it showed no signs of failing. All that she said was that she 'felt' it. I do agree, we could probably best her together, but I don't think that she's afraid of any of us."

Letting out a sigh, finally showing some regret in her expression. "And look...it wasn't my first choice to take bodies from the graves. I haven't had any problems for most of the time I've been making the thralls because of all the resources we have down here. An abundance of soul gems from the cavern, and plenty of ways to get bodies. The biggest portion of the thralls out there are Falmer or chaurus. Sometimes I could retrieve bodies from our missions and use them. But ever since the Imperials and Dominion began moving in their troops, the Falmer have moved themselves practically to the edge of the cavern. They're just too far away for me to hunt, and since we've been preparing for the invasion and not going on missions, I can only justify hunting on the surface so often. I didn't have the two hundred thralls I agreed to give, so...maybe I got a little desperate. But would [i]you[/i] be the one to tell Hal-Neesa you weren't going to honor a deal?"
