She reached out toward him, but he was blind, and already turning away, east, toward the rim of the hill and the valley below
“All right,” said Rinaldo the Healer, and lifted his hands awayDevin opened his eyes and looked downHis wound had closed; the bleeding had stoppedThe sight of it made him feel queasy; the unnatural speed of the healing, as if his senses still expected to find a fresh wound there”You are going to have an easy scar for women to know you by in the dark,” Rinaldo added drylyDucas gave a bark of laughter
Devin winced and carefully avoided meeting Alais’s eyeShe was right beside him, wrapping a roll of linen around his torso to bind the woundHe looked at Ducas instead, whose own cut chanel cambon purse above his eye had been closed by Rinaldo in the same wayArkin, who had also survived the skirmish down below, was bandaging itDucas, his red beard matted and sticky with blood, looked like some fearful creature out of childhood night terrors
“Is that too tight?” Alais asked softly
Devin drew a testing breath and shook his headThe wound hurt, but he seemed to be all right
“You saved my life,” he murmured to herShe was behind him now, tying up the ends of his bandageHer hands stopped for a moment and then resumed
“No I didn’t,” she said in a muffled voiceHe couldn’t have hurt youAll I did was kill a man Catriana, standing near them, glanced overI wish I hadn’t,” Alais said- And began to cry
Devin bag chloe paddington swallowed and tried to turn, to offer comfort, but Catriana was quicker than he, and had already gathered Alais in her armsHe looked at them, wondering bitterly what real comfort there could be to offer on this bare ridge in the midst of war
“Erlein! Now! Brandin is standing!” Alessan’s cry knifed through all other soundsHis heart suddenly thumping again, Devin went quickly toward the Prince and the wizards
“It is upon us then,” said Erlein, in a hard, flat voice to the other two”I will have to pull out now, to track himWait for my signal, but move when I give it!”
“We will,” Sertino gasped Sweat was pouring down the pudgy wizard’s faceHis hands were shaking with strain
“Erlein,” Alessan began urgently, “He vintage tank watch must use it all
“Hush! I know exactly what I must doAlessan, you have set this in motion, you brought us all here to Senzio, every single person, the living and the deadBe still, unless you want to pray
Devin looked north to Brandin’s hillHe saw the King step forward from under his canopy
“Oh, Triad,” he heard Alessan whisper then in a queerly high voiceRemember your children now!” The Prince sank to his knees”Please,” he whispered again”Please, let me have been right!”
On his hill to the north of them Brandin of Ygrath stretched forth one hand and then the other under the burning sun
Dianora saw him move forward to the very edge of the hill, out from the canopy into the white blaze of the christian dior saddle bag lightScelto scrambled awayBeneath them the armies of the Western Palm were being hammered back now, center and left and rightThe cries of the Barbadians had taken on a quality of triumphant malice that fell like blows upon the heart
Brandin lifted his right hand and leveled it aheadThen he brought up his left beside it so that the palms were touching each other, the ten fingers pointing togetherPointing straight to where Alberico of Barbadior was, at the rear of his army
And Brandin of the Western Palm, who had been the King of Ygrath when he first came to this peninsula, cried aloud then, in a voice that seemed to flay and shred the very air:
“Oh, my son! Stevan, forgive me what I do!”
