The state she was in appalled me but I am nothing if not pragmatic. Eporner “I am Mentrassan.”
I know not what, apart from my innate rebelliousness, prompted me to reveal this to him but by his silent, wide – eyed stare, I could tell that he was most impressed. After several more minutes of the most intense moans I have ever heard her produce, she pushes him away. Long minutes pass as I concentrate upon my task; indeed it is amongst the pleasantest of my duties. I grow wetter and wetter, dripping with nectar like a ripe peach. Wine follows in great abundance and an hour later, sweetmeats and fruit. It is like a vessel of spun glass, this heart of his; a translucent and fragile receptacle wherein his life force dwells. Now we must both pray; you to Anth, Abaumoun and Isha, I to Menkeret.
