“I will pull our carriage and we will sow each corner of the world with their corpses. Flowers of death will bloom over their graves to cover the Earth!”

“I’ll need a new gun, Mister,” Rosemarine said. “One big enough to shoot down the moon.”

“But they make a nice sound when I squish them,” Rosemarine argued. “It makes me feel warm inside.”

“Mister Who-Feeds-Me never allows me to eat humans,” Rosemarine replied. “I don’t want Mister to scold me.” Aww, Rosemarine was maturing!

“I hope they will wake up healed of their wounds,” she whispered kindly. “So they can suffer all over again.”

everything beyond the moon’s orbit disappeared months ago.”

“Beat…beat a dragon into submission?” “Yes. You don’t do that in your world?” Hagen chuckled. “No wonder your dragons have behavioral issues if you pamper them.”

“I’ll eat everyone who threatens you, Mister,” she said warmly. “And their little dogs, too.”

“Let the reaping begin!” Rosemarine shouted joyfully. “A harvest of blood and guts!”

“Each of my scales is a tormented soul,” Rosemarine said chirpily.

“When I evolve again, I will eat their souls.”

“I will blind the sun and cast the land in eternal darkness!”
