He bowed. “Long Prince.” “Then I have stepped into a trap,” she said slowly to Temu. “There is no trap.” “You let yourself be bound and held prisoner to deceive me there in the gorge.” “Not to deceive you, Lynn.” His voice was troubled. “The live the you to enter Delun of y free will. I that—privilege.” She stood there looking at him helplessly, awed and overcome before such colossal singleness of purpose, and wondering if, per- haps, she had been wrong in re- sisting this thing that obsessed} him so completely. His voice dropped to an inexpressibly ten- der tone. “I wished to show, in the only way permissable, my love for you.” At his words, a strange thing happened to Lynn. A light seemed to shine from within her, illumi- nating both her mind and her surroundings as if she had come into a new and unexplored world of human experience. She lifted her face in enchantment, fe that sense of utter abandon which is liberation. At that moment, if never before, she knew what it was to be a goddess incarnate. “You win, Temu, I surrende: don’t understand—but is too much for me: Your wish my wish, your loyalty, my loyal- ty.
