لقد فعلت أشياء عظيمة هنا، زهير
"You've done great things here, Zuhair. Katapesh cheers your name in the streets." The Priestess of Sarenrae pushed her ample boosom against Zuhair's chest. His hands explored her flesh; her skin was soft, almond colored and smelled of home. He could feel the blood rush through his veins.
وكان من سنة على الأقل منذ امرأة
It had been at least a year since a woman had seduced him. The foreign women of these lands were exciting at first but somewhere between Restov and Stagfell he grew up, matured under the weight of responsibility. He swore off the foreign women and found companionship with Akiros, the dark skinned Osirin and redeemed Paladin of Sarenrae.
كل ذلك تغير مع وصول رنا والفرقة
But all of that changed with the arrival of Rana, Kamilah, and her band of Qadirans. The regular sound of his native tongue and the bright color and styles that the new arrivals wore brought him back to his inner sea roots.

"The people of these lands are as kindling, ready for her fire." She continued, cupping his cheek in her hand.

"The river kingdoms are not easily changed."
وبلغ كاهنة على أصابع قدميها وسارت أصابعها من خلال الشعر زهير
The priestess stood on her toes and snaked her fingers through Zuhair's hair, bringing his lips down to her. She tasted of cinnamon and righteous fire. "Yet you've already brought change. You've tamed these lands and the people flock to your kingdom. The Ten-Thousand will arrive any day and there will be no choice for these people. They will follow or they will be engulfed by our fire."
وجميع من لهم رؤية الضوء لها
"Yes," Zuhair realized, "all of them will see her light." His lust took over then and he pushed her down on the bed.
***** *****
مشى أسفل القاعة طويلة من الحوزة
Akiros walked down the long hall of the estate. The familiar decor brought a sense of calm to his core that he had come for. Given Zuhair's duties as warden, position on the council, and the recent arrival of his sisters, it was understandable that Zuhair had little time for simple pleasures, but he had his own needs . No doubt Zuhair would understand.
اقترب بالادين الباب الى غرفة رئيسية
The paladin approached the door to the master room and raised his hand to knock, but stopped when he heard the unmistakable grunting he knew well followed by the passionate screams of a woman.
أنا ابن خيانة مرة أخرى.
Akiros raised his fist and his eyes grew dark with a rage he hadn't felt since the death of his family. Through clenched teeth he whispered, "I'm betrayed again."
