Patricia Veryan - [Sanguinet Saga 09] - Logic Of The Heart - Plot & Excerpts
He had dreamed that 'Someone came, and that whoever it was had promised to return with water. And then he'd sunk back into the dark again. He felt crushed by disappointment, but made no further attempt to try to get up. He was too weak now, and that last horrible effort had convinced him that both his leg and his right hand were broken. He was quite incapable of climbing out, even if he could stand. He wondered dully if he ever would be found and given a Christian burial. His eyes were dim, but something seemed to be moving against the wall. He blinked, peering, and was able to discern a pale female form floating down through the darkness. A gasp of shock escaped him. An angel! So his life really was done. It was a sad realization, but at least it would mean the end of this awful pain and thirst. He watched the angel, wondering even in his anguish what he should say when she reached him. She seemed to be rather new at the business, for she kept dislodging rocks and stones that came clattering down, several actually striking him.
