K. Hume [King Arthur Trilogy 04] The Last Dragon CHAPTER XIOF LOVE AND WARThe soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond and must be polished, or the lustre of it will never appear.Daniel Defoe, Of Academies: an Academy for WomenThat season was to live in Arthur’s memory as the last months of his boyhood, the period before time, war and violence swept away everything he valued. His wound healed swiftly, leaving a spectacular new scar so that he now had two white lines running parallel across his body, occasioning much curiosity when they were compared with his healed shoulder wound.Arthur hated being confined to his bed, so while he recovered he was permitted to carry out light duties working at the forge with Rhys ap Myrddion. A horrified Glynn was quite colourful in his description of Arthur’s fate if the wound tore open and permitted the invisible evils of infection to creep beneath the skin. So graphic and ghastly were Glynn’s word pictures that Arthur actually spent most of his time in his quarters until the wound was nothing but a pink-red scar stretching from one side of his abdomen to the other.After that, he enjoyed his daily sessions at the forge where the iron was melted for the construction of Taliesin’s chains.
