“M’lady Gleamdrené?”

Out of the shadows within the tomb’s doorway, a face appeared. There she stood, lovely in her green dressing gown, her flaxen hair wild about her face. She smiled at him. At him, Glomar, the oaf to whom she’d never cast a glance save to irritate Eanrin! How beautiful she was, and how frail and sweet she looked here among the awful sepulchers of Etalpalli.

Glomar lurched forward, his baggy hide quivering with delight. “M’lady!”

She laughed and reached her hands to him. “You have come for me at last! I knew you would, faithful Glomar. Hurry now! I’m caught by a spell, but you can break it. Only you, Glomar! Only you, my dearest!”

He realized after the fact that he should have known better. It was so clearly a trap, he should have laughed. Gleamdren would never call anyone her dearest, after all. Not a soul could claim that honor from the maiden who simultaneously held all her suitors in highest regard and lowest contempt. But that voice and those tender words fulfilled the deepest wishes of his simple badger heart, and he lacked courage to face the truth of the matter while making the split-second decision to run to her arms.

To run into the gaping doorway of the tomb.

The shadows pulled him in, and he was blind. Glomar heard the rumble of the door closing behind him and knew he’d been had.

Curse all females and their pretty talk!
