“I
shall guard you with my life!” he said instantly and with total devotion. “Bid
me attack, and I shall do it—now, or in five centuries, or whenever you wish!
Forge me as you will, that I may protect you as you need!”

“Why,
so I do,” she said, “and this is the manner in which I choose to do it.” Then
she slid into his embrace again, arms twining up about his neck to draw him
down, down, where the luminous mists enfolded them and the wisdom of the Ulin
could be imparted to a mind not made large enough to hold it, by love and care
and caresses, by lip and touch and fingernails trailing sensation,
heart-to-heart and mind-to-mind, and spirit enfolding and sharing itself with
spirit.
