It started with a savage mental thrust, powerful enough to penetrate her shield and drive her to her knees. But by the time she had recovered enough to stand, shaking her head to clear it, Entos was behind her. She sensed a physical threat, lunged to her left just in time to feel his dagger brush her fur rather than bury itself in her back.
After this, the widow, with all her neighbours wives, and female friends, goes to the place where her husband was burnt, where they sit a certain time lamenting, and then gather up all the pieces of bones which have not been burnt to ashes, which they bury; they then return home, and thus make an end of mourning.
The songs of the children were hushed in silence, for this man had brought the plague into the village.

A soul is within my soul. When some good thing is done by me, when some true word is spoken, that soul acts and speaks.
