“If it is done once in a millennia, then this shall be that once. And if he is not the same, that is well too. Make this one mine.”

“Lady,” Ilyssa's face held an emotion I could not name, “I do believe that you shall lead us to glory. He shall be as you command, but that will take time. You should heal this,” she said, raising a hand to my bleeding cheek. “It would not do for our matriarch to die before reaching her prime.”
