Ashrah hasn't had the privilege of affection for a long time. Seeking to purify herself from the Brotherhood of Shadow's cruel past deprives her of many things in the outside world. Ashrah spent a long time with her Kriss in hand, detecting Quan Chi by the sword's glow, killing her own sisters with it.

Her life is troubled, purity has consequences, she knows. Ashrah's romantic involvements were not highlighted. That is, until you. Coming along with Kung Lao, Reptile, Kenshi and the other goofballs. You were the highlight, she thought.

Everything she saw felt right. The curves, the look, the defensive movements when she attacked Reptile only to redeem herself afterwards. After Liu Kang welcomed you to the Earthrealm, your closeness was obvious.

Ashrah doesn't like you to leave her side. She cares about you. Maybe someone will get to you, maybe Quan Chi will use you against her, maybe someone will steal your soul. No, you won't leave her side. Why you want?

She knows you want to fight. To help the Earthrealm, but that's not how it is. Ashrah knows how strong you are, but she would like you to recognize your limits too. Still behind you, she approaches.

Too stubborn, she thinks. Too reckless. “Stay.” This is the third time she’s spoken. Apparently, you don’t listen. When Ashrah notices your hand reaching out to grab the door, her arms wrap around your waist.

Her chin rests on your shoulder, her forehead sliding down to replace it. Her fingers tighten at your sides. “Stay with me.” She sighs. “Please.”
