"Stepping out of the House's doorway, the giant stooped to avoid the lintel. Alien, ornamental armour of bronze plates and embossed, tooled leather gleamed at its chest, arms and legs. A gold sash wrapped its inhumanly broad shoulders, and from another at its waist two swords. Its face was hidden by a war helm of polished iron gilded in bronze spirals, and bronze-scaled gauntlets covered its hands."

"'Do you know who I am, human?'

Temper struggled to find his voice, 'No.'

'I am Jhenna. Do you know the name?'

Jhenna? He'd been facing a female all along? 'No.'

'Truly not?' It shook its helmed head. 'How far into ignorance you humans have fallen. I was one of your kind's teachers long ago. We raised you up out of the muck. Did you know that?'

Temper slapped his clenched arms to his sides to warm them. 'No.'

'We were puissant upon the world while your ancestors dressed in hides and squatted in their own filth. We gave you fire! We shielded you from the K'Chain!'

Temper shrugged, he was no scholar, just a soldier."

"She shoved her weapons through the sash at her waist, then lifted her helm away and held it negligently. She regarded him through lambent eyes that glittered with inhuman emotion. Tusk-like canines thrust up from her wide jaws, but other than this, Temper found her features almost human, simply oversized: a cliff-like brow ridge, broad cheek bones, a wide sloped forehead. Her leonine mane was matted and greasy. Twists of gold thread and lengths of leather tied off a multitude of small braids--rat-tails, soldiers called them."

"Her eyes shone like golden lanterns (...)"

"'I am finished human,' she slurred. 'I have nothing left.' She chuckled, low and throaty. 'Now you will see how the House rewards the treachery of its servants.' Slowly roots gathered, twisting and worming from the soil. They coiled about the Jaghut's legs. (...) As she was yanked deeper into the steaming earth, she offered Temper a mocking smile. 'Careful human or this too will be your fate.'"
