Ashton's mood dropped. "I am not willing to take that risk!" he yelled, standing up and glaring angrily at the demon. "Do you know how many lives would be lost if he loses her?!"
Stefan sighed deeply and rubbed his chin. "Calm do..."
"No, no, I am just trying to make you understand here." In between his rage, Ashton laughed. "Do you know what he went through when his parents died? Do you know how he felt when the ice dragons were all wiped out? He has a large scar that that fire mage is healing, and if he loses her, another scar will appear that will be impossible to heal!"
"Ashton!" Stefan yelled and placed his hands on the demon's shoulder, gently shaking him to calm him down.
Katherine couldn't believe what she was hearing, and her hatred for the ice dragon had vanished in large part. Seeing Ashton in this state made her realize how much the demon cared about Cyrus and how much he had been through.
