Armande tore his robes and proudly displayed his scars. Valeriya turned her nose. A scar only meant a beast got too close. Scars were failures. Yet Armande proudly displayed his. That was why he failed to kill the angel of death. Because he had not learned the lesson of failure.
He was taller, stronger and more experienced than she. He thought to frighten her? A hiss grew in her belly like a cornered beast. Let him attack. He would see true ferocity then. Her muscles tensed. Her lip curled. She wished he would attack. She who was purified of sin. A queenly cannibal. The Eye of power. She would fight him off with tooth and nail. For all his years of fighting he hadn't learned.
She bared her teeth, stalked in front of him, gripped his hair in her hands and wrenched his face toward hers. "And how many gods have you killed Great Regus? Great slayer of beasts? How many gods? Were they babies? Weak and defenseless? Or were they beasts like your mighty apollyon?

How is that possible unless he was resurrected. What necromancer summoned him back from the grave? For the dead do not return uncalled. Rasputin, the real God in the flesh survived poisoning, stabbing and drowning before he was killed. Some things are hard!"
