Thank you very much, Miss Black. Never fear being blunt with me - I'll answer any questions you have about my particular... Condition. I do drink human blood. I am far too old for the substitutes that Preya provides to give me any nourishment. But I only drink from those who are willing and never to a debilitating or deadly point. I take the word 'no' very seriously.
The Romans did accomplish a great many things but when I spent time there, I had too many high born brats trying to claim me as an escaped slave they'd never owned or seen before in their lives just because they thought I was pretty.
Well, fourteen is better than any younger, depending on the husband. Still, I think a young woman should have a bit of adventure before settling down so you never waste away wondering what you missed out there in the wide world.
No, I never did have any experience with the gods - because, to me, Isis would be a goddess. Though I did meet a djinn once, claiming to be Ra... By the time the Cult of Isis was created, any witch calling herself that anyway would be long since dead. Egyptian culture was already heading into the 'ancient' territory and the language lost. I could translate the hieroglyphics for them.
