The Horse Goddess (Celtic World Of Morgan Llywelyn) - Plot & Excerpts
They had been in no hurry to question the girl, expecting she would reveal herself as powerless and a fraud by her actions in the encampment. To this end they had had her watched, but no one had been able to make a satisfactory report. The things she did were not comprehensible to the Scythians. She practiced some form of magic with the fire, that much was certain, and she rode out every day on a horse—like a man!—teaching herself to use bow and arrow. Aside from that, she was a mystery. The shamans smoked hemp and consulted the bones and one another, sensing a threat, jealous of their position, but unwilling to have the tribe or Kolaxais see that they assigned any importance whatsoever to the woman. Let her wait, cooling her heels like the women in beaded shoes, until they were ready and had nothing better to do but amuse themselves with her. When at last the messenger came to her tent to tell Epona the shamans would see her the next morning, the young woman felt suddenly, totally, on guard, like a warrior seeing the signal fires and hearing the battle trumpet.
