Fiery Edge Of Steel (A NOON ONYX NOVEL) - Plot & Excerpts
That meant sitting through another four hours or so with almost a hundred other people—mostly Hyrkes, because Ari was the only other Maegester-in-Training in my section—who had no idea we’d just been given the Assignment of Death. In between Professor Telford’s dry lectures on anticipatory repudiation and the ensuing duty of mitigation, I decided to satisfy a different duty that evening—my duty to my own curiosity. They say Curiositas killed Cattus. But no one really knows. Curiositas was a fairly youngish demon living in the twelfth century, only a few decades old, when he met the gorgeously supple and fiercely feline demoness Cattus. When he asked her what she most wanted to do on their dates, Cattus kept telling Curiositas, “You don’t want to know.” But Curiositas, being Curiositas, kept at Cattus day and night, although mostly by night, because Cattus was nocturnal. Curiositas, on the other hand, was a day creature, all flecked with gold and shining brilliance. His preferred haunt was the Lethe and the two met at the docks every day at dusk.
