It was after all overcast and raining heavily.”

“James Heron stepped from the personal transport as Herbert, the family’s outmoded android butler, opened the front door of Scrabo Farm. There were infinitely more efficient and newer model android servants available, but neither James Heron nor his sister Niamh L’Estrange would dream of scrapping the mechanical attendant that had served the family so well, and enlivened their childhood with its fussy care of them both.

Answering in the slightly mechanical voice that James had liked so much when he was a boy, Herbert said, “She is in her study, Captain. I have alerted her to your arrival.”

“One day, Remy came across a proposal from Lithgow for a budget increase to re-equip an archer company with newly invented crossbows. Remy modified the requested budget amount by adding two zeroes to it and sent the proposal into Jerado for approval.

“They’re into a bit more than assassination,” said the Admiral, aka Mr Brown, “and not all of them are top agents—the ones that use the names of gods and goddesses to identify themselves. Some are called daemons, and they serve as apprentices to the top players. They’ve a large number of people in the mix. Same arrangement. A team of professional killers, safe crackers, explosives—you name it —round each one, and they’re not afraid to sacrifice members for the objective, or to protect the goddess or god heading it. Every time we get close to them we lose people. It’s as if they’re playing with us. We’re pretty sure they’re all very well connected, and some of them indulge in what they call ‘hunting’. Some poor bastard is abducted and dumped somewhere remote without the means to defend himself. Then he or she is hunted by one or more of the Pantheon. They’re psychopaths—but, as I said, they’re very well connected.”

“They fall silently
the steps of her arrival -
crossing snow so pale 
even the morning sky would fall 
into nights amber
(if it knew of her ways & worth); 
for she has entered the palace of gold 
- her hair braided with hope
tainted with autumn leaves
that seem like a hanged man's rope -
for her name is war and 
her crown is crafted out of grief.”
― Laura Chouette

“Bare vent. Der dukker en eller anden smuk ainatunari op og tager sig af hende. Som i et menneskeeventyr, hvor den gode prins redder den smukke prinsesse. Han finder hende, forelsker sig i hende og bringer hende sikkert tilbage til hendes far og bror i det skønne kongerige.”
Han sendte Ryna det smil, som han vidste, hun ikke ville kunne modstå, og ganske rigtigt bredte smilet sig nu også over Rynas ansigt. Der var det glimt i Rynas øjne, som Alaric havde savnet hele dagen.
”Hvis jeg kender hende ret, så stikker hun prinsen en lige højre, stjæler hesten og rider selv ud og finder sin bror.”
