If you are not one, you will never know. If you are, you already know, and I have no need of telling you.  \nI love her. Love – that seems too small a word. She has travelled with me, slept with me, woken with me, watched out long lonely nights with me; fought in my hand, fierce and fell, sharp and keen as a dragon's tooth; the first to leap, the first to bite; my Flesheater, Bone-carver, Blood-drinker. She has killed countless men in my defence, and she is mine.  \nYou do not understand.  \nLet me tell you, then, of how I first came to take her for my own. I was young, and strong, and foolish, and I thought one sword was much like another. I thought I could vanquish any man in battle; I thought the world was mine for the taking; I thought myself invincible, immortal, agod's son bestriding the earth.  \nHe was good. I had seen him fight, and I knew that he was good. I knew his wife was pretty, too, and – well, there you have it. To kill him, in fair fight: a man like that, scarred with battles won; a chieftain, some would say a king, and my own commander whenever the natives got restless, which believe me they did constantly. To kill him, and bed his wife, and be known as theman who did both: that was too heady a draught for me to resist.  \nSo I challenged him, with all the proper forms. We left the golden liquid warmth of the firelit hall, and strode out into the frozen star-pierced night. Four of us: he and I, with one friend each to see that all was done as it should be, and to fight to the death in their turn if it was not.  \nThe others followed us, of course. The young men came to cheer me on, raucous in the arrogance of youth; the old men to click their tongues and say fighting was not what it used to be, and nod solemnly as he slew me; the boys to gaze raptly at the flash of blades in the starlight, and reach out in awe for the bloodied corpse that would soon sully the snow.  \nYes. A cold night. Snow on the ground, not thick; ankle deep perhaps, though at the door it had been trampled into ice by many feet. It crunched under our leather boots, and the sound made me shiver, as it always does. There was laughter then, as some men thought I was afraid.  \nI was not. I was drunk with courage, and the night was clear, and I was immortal.  \nThe call was made. We both drew.  \nSomething happened in that moment. Something that I still do not fully understand.  \nShe screamed as he drew her, screamed like a woman in anguish. She leapt wide of me, as if she would not touch me; not though her lord would die for it.  \nEven then she was already mine, only she knew that and I did not.  \nI swung my own blade – a good strong swing. The edge of my sword struck his jaw from below and cleft his skull. A mead-bowl of bone and blood and brains flew through the icy night and struck the boys, who shrieked like girls and ran. The other half of his head remained, one eye still staring at me, disbelieving, as he fell.  \nThere was silence. Utter silence. No cheering, no laughter: nothing. It was as if the men behind me, mute dark shapes against the light that flowed through the open door, were all struggling to comprehend what they had seen.  \nI leaned down and took the sword from his yielding hand. I unstrapped the scabbard from his belt, and took that as well.  \nThen I went back inside.  \nThey all followed","cbCaiaijqK7NeNmG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaijqK7NeNmG","pdf",311930,"English","# Fiction\n## Lovers Sleeping by M P Ericson\n# Reviews\n## Doctor Who: Ghosts of India\n# Feature\n## Big Screen Future: Alien","[{\"question\":\"What fiction is included in Hub Issue 64?\",\"answer\":\"Hub Issue 64 includes “Lovers Sleeping” by M P Ericson as its fiction section.\"},{\"question\":\"Which review appears in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"The reviews section contains “Doctor Who: Ghosts of India.”\"},{\"question\":\"What is the topic of the feature section?\",\"answer\":\"The feature section is titled “Big Screen Future: Alien.”\"}]","Hub - Issue 64 - Fiction & Feature | PDF",1789970317]
