my whole life is mine, but whoever says so will deprive me,
for it is infinite.
The devil's words caused a smile to spread across Amun's lips. It was brief, appearing and disappearing in a flash. When Sunjata reached for the Ascended, with wings and claws and horns and a forked tongue, he resisted for a moment. Then he relented, letting the devil pull Amun close.
Still facing the other man, the potter tucked his legs under him. One hand reached out to touch the wound he'd made on the devil's chest. However, the Ascended paused before it could touch Sunjata's skin. Shooting a glance at the griffin, Amun frowned.
Zhanshi surfaced nearby, jaws closing on air. Then he dove again, heading for the sands where the devil's blood had fallen. The potter watched the motion, mesmerized. "If heaven isn't your home, what is?" he heard himself asking as if from a distance, or as if someone else's mouth spoke the words.

by being moved I exert my empire,
making the dreams of night real
