“That was fitting; a death ought not to go unmourned. One might even mourn the death of one who had been their enemy, until the last.At the last, he had been grateful; his love for them, his captors—his would-be liberators—had given his star fresh radiance; his ties to the universe—to life—had flared with power……and gone out.So, a death.As such things went, Ren Zel thought, it had been a good death. Certainly, it had been desired. Chosen. It was the choice—the return of the ability to make a cho...ice—that had gained them their enemy’s love, even as he chose annihilation over life.The other death that he had witnessed in this space of gold and blackness—that had been a bad death. Their enemy had scarcely wakened to the whisper of choice when the enemy within him had acted to deny him both choice and life. He died, knowing that life had been rent from him. Died, knowing that he had failed.Kar Min pel’Mather had chosen. His choice had given him wings.May the gods, if any, receive him, Ren Zel sent the benediction out into the shining glory.MoreLessRead More Read Less
