Hosker, G [Sword Of Cartimandua 05] Revolt Of The Red Witch - Plot & Excerpts
The river rushed beneath the bridge and the gate giving the only sound to disturb the tense stand off.Behind her Aodh, Ownie and the other leaders waited with bated breath. They were well armed and armoured having pillaged Roman bodies and armouries for the best. Their armour glistened and shone in the dying embers of the sun. They were a golden army. It was such an audacious move and so reliant on two young girls that even the ever confident Aodh began to ease his sword from its scabbard. Morwenna half turned and flashed a fearsome look. “Do not begin to doubt now. You will not need your sword.” Reluctantly he returned his sword to its scabbard and silence reigned once more. From behind the gates they could hear raised voices and suddenly the more strident and higher pitched female voices became more dominant. Without warning the huge doors swung open and Maban and Anchorat stood there with a group of triumphant looking women and some red faced men. As they entered through the gate and across the bridge Morwenna half turned to Aodh and said quietly, “You need not doubt my powers for the Mother is with us.”In that moment both Ownie and Aodh realised that this phenomenon was getting bigger than they had ever envisaged. Now she was winning battles without weapons, at least not weapons which they understood and gaining recruits almost without trying. She was more than a woman, she was a seer who appeared to have an insight into the hidden world of the gods and that was truly terrifying to mere warriors.
