"Whatever you think you are now, you were once a Pandion. Nothing changes that, unless you can change the past." Sparhawk is finding it easier now to talk to Martel the man, rather than Martel the betrayer.

"You're aware of the Troll Gods? The God of Fire claimed Zalasta's life because of a promise Ulath made. When Zalasta appeared to prevent Sephrenia marrying Vanion, I took steps, and Khwaj set Zalasta on fire. A permanent fire. Never to be put out, never to die, and with Zalasta burning in the middle of it, for eternity."

Trolls are rather direct, and Sparhawk is secretly rather impressed with the punishment.
