The Circle Of Stone (Darkest Age) - Plot & Excerpts
. . Her ears were filled with screaming. She could hear Cathbar trying to quiet her, but he sounded so far away, and didn’t he realise that it was Ioneth screaming, not her? Hush, she tried to tell her. We’re safe now: he’s gone. ‘Is there nothing we can do?’ It was Edmund’s voice, distraught as she had seldom heard him. ‘She’s in such pain...’ ‘This tonic should help.’ That was Eolande again. ‘But she must be calm enough to take it.’ What did they mean? Elspeth tried to tell them that she was quite calm enough to take medicine – that it was Ioneth they must help. But no words came out, even though her mouth was moving. She was the one screaming after all. With an effort she made herself breathe out, close her throat to the terrible shrieks of pain. Somewhere deep inside her, Ioneth quietened too. ‘There,’ Eolande said. ‘Raise her a little.’ She felt herself being lifted very carefully. Then a cup was at her lips and something warm and bitter-tasting in her mouth.
