Introducing... Belit

When Belit the Pirate Captain is described as, "The wildest she-devil unhanged." (Page 240) by the captain of the ship CONAN is travelling on, you already know you're in for trouble. We meet her when she jumps in front of her crew to save CONAN from their spears and offer him a chance to join them.
She turned toward CONAN, her bosom heaving, her eyes flashing. Fierce fingers of wonder caught at his heart. She was slender, yet formed like a goddess: at once lithe and voluptuous. Her only garment was a broad silken girdle. Her white ivory limbs and the ivory globes of her breasts drove a beat of fierce passion through the Cimmerian's pulse, even in the panting fury of battle. Her rich black hair was as a Stygian night, fell in rippling burnished clusters down her supple back. Her dark eyes burned on the Cimmerian.
She was untamed as a desert wind, supple and dangerous as a she panther. She came close to him, heedless of his great blade, dripping with blood of her warriors. her red lips parted as she stared up into his sombre eyes.
From "Queen of the Black Coast"
Page 242. The Complete Chronicles of CONAN.

" She came close to him, heedless of his great blade," Calling Dr. Freud, please come to quote 48 at once...


You also know that as soon as anyone except CONAN is likened to a panther or wolf, they are going to be something special.
