“Siara, don’t get too
close.”
Siaragowaeh ignored the
old healer’s sharp words and knelt beside the sleeping man. She gently placed
her hand over his brow. He was now cool to the touch. She fell back on her
haunches in relief. The fever was finally leaving his large body.
“Siara!”
“Don’t worry, Etu,” she
said in their native tongue, preferring their language to that of the English.
Though she needed the practice, Etu barely spoke the foreign language and
despite the sachem’s encouragement to adopt the English tongue in their everyday
speech, few of those in their clan—the Bear clan—did. She turned to the older
woman and offered her a reassuring smile. “See, he’s still asleep.”
“Not for long,” Etu
grumbled, her thin lips narrowing further. “My night visions are never wrong.
He will rise soon and I see nothing but trouble coming.”
