"Fuck Ryodan Bastard had her longer than I did" His face darkened and all trace of playful, cavee of a virtual stranger

I realized I was seeing the real Lor for the first time Brutal, cold, every bit as much a beast as the rest of them Bonecrusher The word floated intoclue what it’s like to outlive everyone? At first you think it’s the greatest goddamn party you coulda been invited to You fuck and feast and do every goddaot the world by the balls Then you realize every bloody person you like hanging with is gonna die You kno o before they even hit thirty? And the wo till you start to hate? Despise Motherfucking revile"

His eyes bored into es flashed throughthem to me Once, Lor had been a completely different his Khan and run with the Mongols, he’d warred with Attila the Hun, slaughtered with Caligula, rahed with Ivan the Terrible, been executioner for Robespierre, drank blood from the skulls of their eneht war after war, killing endlessly He’d abjured his own clan, until one night they’d shown up in force, led by Ryodan, captured hied him away

"You fucks’d call it an intervention," he said with cold, dead eyes

"You loved Jo," I whispered

"Nope," he said succinctly "But the woman made me sorta start to feel like row old, die, deal with it And now she’s fucking gone"

Of all the people I could have killed, it had to be Jo "Why are you tellingon, nobody’s even talking about her anyot back, she’d been dead for over a rave Gonna go dig ’em up, sniff out the Unseelie that did it Torture that fuck to death a hundred different ways"

A chill went up my spine "You could do that? Smell who killed her from her remains?"

"Oh, yeah That’s easy shit I dropped by to let you know Seeing as you’re Fae queen and all, letting you know there’s gonna be a fuck lot of Unseelie dying tonight Not just the one that did it I’odda?"

He got to his feet and stalked for the door, tossing over his shoulder, "Nope Telling ya to stay the fuck outta et in it"

The door banged shut behind hi ret and pain,ite the likely one: Lor finds Jo’s re can never be sung, the Earth gets destroyed
