It was so nice having both of my slaves home again with me. After supper, we taught Lisa and Lucia how to play euchre. It's not a difficult game and after playing four open hands, we could get started on the real thing. Since both of them were new to the game, I took Lucia and Julia took Lisa. Lucia was a card demon. For someone who'd never played a lick of cards before, she was an assassin. We won three quarters of the games played. Around ten, we broke up. "Julia, please attend to Lucia for the next hour, then you may join Lisa and I." "Of course, Master."

Prologue II: Pyre, 3113 Pyre Av 5, 3113 Stephan Caliphus, King Everything was on fire the night he finished the book in the back room of a borrowed house. He laid his glasses down on the desk in front of him and rubbed his tired eyes. The crackling of flames could be heard as the city burned all around them.
