The Shadow Of Elysium (Shadow Campaigns) - Plot & Excerpts
Every day, Alex sleeps soundly, no matter what I do to try and wake her. She only starts to revive as the sun sets, and once the guards spoon-feed her a bowl of soup, she’s unconscious again in moments. I’ve tried to watch them prepare the soup, but I can’t see very much from my chained position. I start to think about how I can help her. *** Very little breaks the monotony of the days as the wagons grind north as fast as the roads allow. A week of sunshine dries the mud to hard-baked clay, and we make good progress, but then the rains break and it’s back to probing the muck with sticks. I now pray for rain. The farther we go, the closer we get to Elysium, and the smaller my chance for escape. Not that I hold out a great deal of hope anymore, but once we reach the fortress-city there will be no chance at all. So Hunter tells us, anyway. Once or twice a week, Alex’s nightly drugging is put off for a few hours so the Penitent Damned can come and lecture us on the life we can expect once we’re interred in the ancient catacombs.
