“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” Fel was thundering at me across the table.

“Wiping out the enemy, what do you think I’m doing?” I said shocked.

“I brought you here to win a battle, not to wipe them out!”

“You said they were going to wipe you out. That if you lost they were going to eradicate you and your followers. Did you lie to me?” I growled at him.

“No, I didn’t lie to you. But you can’t do this!”

“Turn about is fair play! When I’m done here there isn’t going to be a temple, priest, or follower of their god left! And that city will belong to Rachel and your priests will have a temple there.”

“You’re going to do this no matter what I say, aren’t you?”

“It’s too late, Fel. Even if you killed me where I stand, the horse has the bit in its teeth now. Maybe I could stop Holse if I pressured him, but I’m not going to do that no matter what you say or do.”

Fel sighed, “I should never have upped your aggression levels.”

“What?” I looked at him.

“Oh come on, you don’t think that the only thing I changed was your size and species when you came here, do you? I upped your aggression, that’s why you were all over the queen when you saw her. You’re a lot more aggressive than you were, and you’ll fight for what you want and take it.”

I thought about that, I wondered what other things in me were now changed?

“So why are you upset? You’re about to gain a lot of people when we convert them. Plus the extra temples and the larger population base.”

“Because the other gods are going to have a fit when you wipe out this one. Right now I’m the only one who knows your mind, but once it’s done, there will be trouble.”

I smiled at him rather evilly, “Then I’ll kill them for you too.”

“I’ve created a monster,” He sighed. “When this is over, we’re going to have words. I can’t afford to have you quit on me. I still need you too much.”

“You need me still?” I grinned again. “No more human sacrifice!”

“Do you have any idea how many you’ve killed in the last twenty-four hours?”

“Don’t know, don’t care. It’s war. But you know my mind and you know my reasons. I know it hurts more than it helps in the long run.”

“I should know better than to talk with you in the midst of a campaign, your aggression is peaked. But yes, it’s gone and won’t be back. I happen to feel you’re right, and this was a good time to end it.”

“Thank you.”

“Now go.”
