1 " Nera ... beautiful sun goddess, may I see you?" Ryzthar asked, his voice crackling with anticipation."No," she replied. "Ione dressed me today and, for once, I am grateful. What brings a troubled king up so far? To catch sight of me naked? "

2 " It may be summer down at the lower elevations, but the goddess Ione usually defended the summit with wild or wintry weather. Hurricane-force winds, thunderstorms, ice storms, snow storms, dense fog and even hail the size of human heads -- any or all of these could be awaiting the intrepid monarch. "
3 " I still have a head because that child-maiming fool never caught me again. He taught me all I needed to know about this kingdom -- you better be stealthy and fast ... and realize that your next mistake could be your last. "
4 " I must warn you," Jett said. "I'm far better at putting arrows into people than pulling them out."Antero braced himself, shook his head and said, "Doesn't matter. I want to feel as much pain as possible ... for Hagema. "
5 " Aw, he’s in love,” Hagema cooed.“Just stop,” Antero protested. “Though I will admit she is beautiful. And she can sing. But I can’t believe she just threatened the king in front of all these people. Pure suicide.”“Damn it! That takes real ox balls! I would’ve been here sooner if this hellhole wasn’t in the middle of fuxing nowhere!” Hagema ranted. "
6 " Just remember your mother and your song of revenge, beautiful girl. This is your time now. It's your realm. Your stage. "
7 " And what is your job, your grace?" Nera toyed with him.The king scowled at her tone."To rule this pile of rocks and keep you immortals happy," Ryzthar shouted at the stone. "A fuxing impossible task. "
8 " I may look like a goddess to you, but know that I will always feel less than human for as long as I breathe. That's not your fault, Antero. That's the fault of those who I've already served justice to and those who will feel it soon. "
9 " You should really be the one to take off her tunic," Antero advised. "That all-men-are-evil thing ... if she wakes up and finds me stripping her bare, she might instinctively boil my blood or fireball me off the mountain."Jett nodded."I'm impressed you can still think logically and ogle my lusty body at the same time. "
10 " Make sure the queen is stripped bare and ready for me!" King Ryzthar declared. "This may well be my last chance to sire a male heir before the Strix-fuxing god of darkness bashes me into the underworld forever. "
