yes warning
spoiler warning, If you have not read dust of dreams then this is a spoiler warning, plus it could be a spoiler for the upcoming Crippled God book but not likely as it is just specualtion based on Dust of Dreams.
This passage from Dust of Dreams,
Quote
"Riches," Banaschar said. "Worthless."
"Different reward, we assure you. Substantial, meaningful, valuable, timely."
He looked up from his study of the lef and eyed Telorast. "Like what?"
The reptile's skeleton head bobbed. "Power, my friend. More power than you can imagine-"
"I doubt that most sincerely."
"Power to do as you please, to whomever or whatever you please! Power gushing out, spilling down, bubbling up and leaving potent wet spots! Worthy reward, yes!"
"And if I hold you to that?"
"As surely as you hold that lovely leg, and the twine, as surely as that!"
"The pact is sealed," said Banaschar.
"Curdle! You hear that!"
"I heard. Are you mad? We don't share! We never share!"
"Shhh! He'll hear you!"
"Sealed," repeated Banaschar, sitting up.
"Ohhh," wailed Curdle, spinning faster and faster. "You've done it now! Telorast, you've done it now! Ohhh, look, I can't get away!"
"Empty promises, Curdle, I swear it!"
"Sealed," said banaschar again.
"Aaii! Thrice sealed! We're doomed!"
Firstly I would like to hear other peoples point of view on this text.
The reason I mentioned spoilers is because one it is a passage from the book, but more because what we see of Telorast and Curdle later in the book and the hint at the Betrayal? in The Crippled God?
