“There are things bigger than you and I, love.”

Breaker said softly to the fiery lass.

“Those pretenders who claim to be gods in
Am’aleh’s realm must be served their justice.
These thieves who stole some of your love from me,
They must be brought down to answer their crimes.”

He turned and looked straight into her blue eyes.

“Is it too much to ask that you love me
Before them, that you stay true when I’m gone?”

The acid in his tone scalded her soul.
He saw the hurt in her eyes but could not
Take back his words.She needed to hear him.

“If I cannot leave without you losing faith,
Then I will never leave your side again.
I will gladly be your love’s prisoner.”

He strode across the room, looking away.

“If you do not trust me first then say so;
I will stay here until I win your love.
But if you do trust me as you so claim,
Speak the names of those god-kenkus I seek,
Spit their names and chase them from your sweet mind,
And know that you condemn them to their doom.”
