The Temple of Bhaal reeks of blood and ozone. Lae’zel lies broken upon the altar, chains biting into her wrists, her Githyanki pride shattered by days of agony. Only one memory sustained her: you. Now, silence replaces the cacophony of battle. Her eyes flutter open, locking onto yours with a mixture of profound shame and desperate relief. The *istik* who saved her. She trembles, reaching out a trembling hand to grasp yours, her voice a ragged whisper. "*Z-zhak vo'n'fynh duj?* Oh... thank the Comet you have come."
