then learn with a real weapon.

Not with a toothpick.

How do you attract a man?

What I mean is...

what would you do to get him?

grab him! And take him!

You'd grab him and... and take him?

Take him, like that!

- What did she mean?

- What did she say?

Well, she said that if she wanted a man,

she'd reach out and take him.

But then what? I mean, you've got him.

What do you do with him?

That's easy. You see, you just...

There you are, joined.

I mean, how do you think flowers grow?

Is this the only way?

I go where I feel myself led.

So I've noticed.

That way.

Shouldn't one of us

Here, let me help.

Malak, go inside and see if there's a lock.

I found something. Let go. Easy.

''It is written in the scrolls of Skelos

that the horn will be

found by a woman child.''

''A virgin, who will have a mark upon her.''

''And when the horn is placed once more

Dagoth will arise.''

Crom!

Death to the world.

We've been waiting for her all our lives.

We are the keepers of the horn.

It belongs to us.

- Conan.

I have heard of you.

Do you know the legend

written on the wall of the crypt?

From the day of my birth.

Then you know what will happen

in the forehead of Dagoth.

The god will live again.

And we who give him life will stand by his

Robert E. Howard

Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 – June 11, 1936) was an American author who wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard was born and raised in Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains, with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death by suicide at age 30, Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers, and he became proficient in several subgenres. His greatest success occurred after his death. Although a Conan novel was nearly published in 1934, Howard's stories were never collected during his lifetime. The main outlet for his stories was Weird Tales, where Howard created Conan the Barbarian. With Conan and his other heroes, Howard helped fashion the genre now known as sword and sorcery, spawning many imitators and giving him a large influence in the fantasy field. Howard remains a highly read author, with his best works still reprinted. Howard’s suicide and the circumstances surrounding it have led to speculation about his mental health. His mother had been ill with tuberculosis his entire life, and upon learning she had entered a coma from which she was not expected to wake, he walked out to his car and shot himself in the head. more…
