" Maybe so, but Henri is mine. We share our joys and our sorrows, our sins and our triumphs. I want him in all of my lives.” I remembered something you once told me, in this life or my last. “I want Henri as my one and only subject. With the blessed gift bestowed upon me by Ra of the sunborn, I wish to rule just one man. Henri is my past, my future, my forever. Please, I beg you, your majesty, make me the master of his soul and bind us for all of eternity. "

" Do you think you could love me for more than one lifetime?” I caught a glimpse of Orlando then, the part of your soul which, despite your bravado, had always struggled with believing yourself worthy. I had loved you as a spirit, as a demon, and as a man. I’d loved you when you were a child, a dancer, a thirsty youngblood, and a godling trying to maneuver your way through a web of lies and deceit. I’d loved you as my ward, my prince, and now, as my master. My love for you was as wide and as deep as the ocean that surrounded us. Perpetua ad infinitum. Everlasting, infinite, without borders and without end. I drew you closer and kissed the part in your hair. “My darling, I already have. "
