Summary
"The gods fashioned you for glory. And then, the gods fashioned me for you.”
After a lifetime of war, crisis, betrayals, and losses, Alexander of Macedon kneels in the Temple of Siwa. He retells stories of a childhood spent with a scheming mother, a youth spent with friends now dead or traitorous, and an adulthood spent with the profound love of his fellow general, Hephaestion.
Devastated from a recent loss, he asks only one thing of the temple's oracle: permission to create a god.

Summary
"Maedhros, forgive me for saying it plainly: if you bound yourself to him just to bind him to this battle, then it was not well done. It was not—" the frown failed, and Maglor just looked embarrassed now, for sincerity did not suit him, "—not kind."
"I did no such thing," Maedhros said.
"But you did marry him."
"Not for this battle," Maedhros said. He smiled to himself. This memory had never been a good one before. "We have been wed these four hundred years."
