[He's seen the warriors from India himself. Battled alongside his men and fought against those who would be considered 'blessed' by the gods from Karna's country. As such, he's wholly unprepared for the vision that's before him.
Beautifully pale, like the moon. Eyes that are unlike any human he's ever met--a gaze like a wild animal. One that is quietly cold, predatory. Waiting. There is fire in those umbral rings, and he can feel it in Karna's gaze, and Karna's words. They fill his own chest with a similar fire, and he finds himself even more delighted by what stands before him.
His arms move from the front of his chest to spread out, gripping his long staff to point it down at the other as he takes a single step down from his throne.]
Spoken boldly. I like that! [His voice booms with another laugh, the clear sound of delight on its tone.]
But for them to bring in front of me the leader of their people, their greatest warrior who is blessed by the gods themselves--and a woman, at that? Today, the gods truly smile upon he who is the King of Egypt!
[There's an odd look on Nitocris' face at Ozymandias' next words, a flat expression that really easily reads as--Are you an idiot?]
I accept your surrender, warrior of another land. But your fate is how I see it fit. Are you prepared to hear it, and accept it as your new reality?
