[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 2504488, member: 31780"] Cold rage bubbles up to the surface, replaced in an instant with equally cold calculation. "Leech? I am no more a leach than you are, and no less. Normally I suppose an Ur Priest would argue the point, but let's just say that the matter personal choice and responsibility makes your moral judgements irrelevant. Insult me again, however, and I will reduce this church to ruins. And all I'd have to do is what any commoner could do, denounce your treachery. There are spells that can prove my word, to King or court, beyond any doubt." "The question, then, is what can you offer me? To keep your secret and to remove your enemy. What do I need that you can offer?" "You cannot offer salvation, because you are not greater than your God and what he has failed to do you can never accomplish. Nor can you offer answers, because you have revealed yourself as a deciever and your church as an institution of betrayal. No, what I want from you is quite simple. Wealth, magic and power." "Now," he smiles far too widely, eyes remaining midnight cold, "make me an offer I will not find insulting." [/QUOTE]
