joyfully, patting his head and his neck and his shoulders
with his hands. "No rabbit ears! No dragon's breath! No
minotaur muscles! I'm me again!" He burst into tears.
"And you lost the bet, dwarf!" the dark-haired beauty
cried out suddenly, getting to her feet. "The hammer fell!"
"Yes!" shouted the women. "You lost the bet! The men

the fire of love instead of the fire of battle.
Dougan raised the hammer above his head. His face was

mountains it had carved, as deep as the oceans it had
