Dycedarg came back to himself in brief moments, catching himself more than not in the midst of the beast's worst depravities. He saw his sister seldom; his brother often. Adramelech had taken on his hatreds, and Zalbag was never to be spared them.

He knew he should be driven to pity by now, that this much violence and violation was beyond his due. Still, in all the configurations of Zalbag's agony he saw, he remained unmoved. He could forgive all his brother's trespasses, but envy always remained.

Unlike, him, Zalbag had the right of screaming, the freedom of a struggle.
