Blackbeak Bluff who alone but he scapegraced and goated me?

and so, in one fell swoop, caiaphas' claim upon rusalka was over.
she should not have been shocked when firefly rose to challenge the old witch for her rank. he was to be a father, twice over, and men who had their heads swelled with the fleeting power of sex were wont to do foolish things.
rosalyn had gone off to challenge him, and had come away with a crown, and erzulie had removed herself from the sound with a firm step that belied the new weight in her body. while she did not think the pirate would do anything to betray her, it was convenient that rosalyn had reclaimed her title of alpha and would now rule alongside the man who had fathered both their children. it was omniscient, too bitterly reminiscent of what marie had done.
and so she had gone away, the harlot with round belly trotting over the sea-moors until at last she was alone, to contemplate the fate of rusalka and consider that caiaphas might well take her brood and leave them now.
