"I demand, Champion, because nothing comes without cost.  One does not tread lightly the edge of the Abyss and turn away unchanged.  You have done nothing  to deserve my favor; you reject my offers and speak as if to dictate terms, as if we exist as equals.  We do not.  So take the blade, and know my price thus:

"When comes the day that you are released from your servitude, the day the dying goddess no longer cradles you like a foundling, when no longer you cheat death, then you will know my true price.  My Herald will find you, and then, your reckoning, or your fealty, will come."

Aidlis grins, showing her fangs.
