“Sure. Let’s pretend that’s cool and normal.”
“I was just leaving. I have a getaway bag. I did my hair in my getaway bun.”
“‘First cut for gods lost in the sky, second for fiends in the abyss. Third cut for me, Marius Valerius. Fourth cut for you, Eric Mitchell. By the sword, I swear to be loyal and true.’” “You’ve got to be kidding me,” whispered the Cobra.

The oath says for all my days, your life is dearer than my life, and if I can be true to you past death, I will. Anybody who makes this oath lightly is lost.”
“What are you planning to do?” Marius hesitated. “Care for you.” Eric made an expansive and explosive gesture, ending with a hand clawing through his getaway bun. “Give me a second, hang on a minute. I thought the plot was going somewhere completely different.”
Will you help me?” Put that way, the matter required urgent attention. “I will.” “You will?” Eric repeated blankly. “I took vows,” Marius reminded him, vexed. “You were there. It just happened.”
“What took you so long?” “A burly lunatic broke into my bedchamber and vowed to protect me.” “I wish that would happen to me.” Amelia cast her sparkling gaze on Marius, who receded behind Eric with dignity. “Hello again. You the burly lunatic?” “I wouldn’t characterize myself in that fashion, no.” Amelia laughed. “I love how he talks like a book on manners.” “I know,” said Eric, amused. “Always in a whole different genre to everyone else.”

Eric noted Marius’s gaze. His own eyes went wide with new horror. “Don’t give me that look! Stop right now! I cannot believe one of the main characters found out about my well-hidden heart of gold. I’m going to die. I’ll get a whole touching death scene. I’ll have to think of something witty to say. You’ll be sad for about twenty pages before Lia – or your new love interest, I guess – heals your wounded heart with her sweet words. You were always going to be the death of me. You’d better be sad for at least twenty pages!”
“Maybe I’m a library, because all I want is quiet!
“You saw this horse born,” Marius reminded him. “I told you his bloodline could find their way anywhere. You named him.” “That was a joke,” said Eric. Marius didn’t see what was humorous. He’d thought it was a nice name. The Cobra stared at the expanse of the warhorse’s arched neck, up to the rolling eyes. “So this is my noble steed, Google Maps?”
“I said I disobeyed the king,” Marius said sharply. “Are you loyal until death, or not?” “I am, my lord,” the captain replied. “But not to him.”
“I love you as a knife loves a throat,” he murmured as the dead overwhelmed her. “I crawled out of hell to fall at your feet.”

“The burning city is mine, and I am yours. I changed the story for you. So tell me the lie that you love me.”
