oaths between us, but one or the other must fall before then
to glut with his blood Ares the god who fights under the shield's guard.”

Fitzroy uttered one of those words of magic, which made the air ring like the inside of a struck bell, and without moving a step he growled out a line of poetry.
'Hear, O ye children of the sun and of the wind, of the emperor Aurelius called Magnus and his fanoa from across the sea: sing with me of their deeds of magic and daring, their high-hearted courage, their love that crested the very sky, and weep, all you lovers of beauty, for what glory once was in the world.'
