Chapter 17

Dhacar

No one’s in the women’s cave when I get there, but the fire’s still burning and it’s nice and warm. I’m tucking Lana under the furs when all of the women arrive, Marion and Diana included.

“Oh my God!” Marion screams and starts to cry, falling to her knees when she sees Lana.

Sulve takes one look and starts barking orders at Alka and Vina. They all begin scrambling around the large space, grabbing the supplies they need to tend to the arrow wound.

“Is she going to be okay, Sulve?” I ask. I still haven’t let her go. She’s nestled under the covers but I’m still holding her to try to keep her comfortable. In the back of my mind, I know Brotak wants me back to defend the mountain from the attack, but I can’t bring myself to leave her.

“Let me take a look at things. I’ll be able to tell you more once I see everything.” The women crouch around us while Diana tries to comfort Marion. After Sulve and Alka examine the wound for a minute, even turning her so they can see the back of her shoulder, she nods and gives me a tight smile. “The arrow hit in a good place. We’ll be able to remove it and sew the wound. We’ll treat it to make sure it doesn’t become infected. As long as the removal goes smoothly, she should be just fine.”

Once I hear those words, I’m finally able to breathe again.

“What can you give her for the pain? I’ve had many arrows removed and it will not be pleasant for her.”

Sulve snaps her fingers at Vina, who hands her the small container she’s holding tightly in her hands. She pours a few drops into Lana’s mouth before setting it off to the side.

“Heat some water for me, Alka,” Sulve says.

Now that they’re starting, Marion finally snaps out of it. “I can do that for you,” she says. She takes the pot from the table and begins to fill it using the large water bin. She’s just about to bring it back to the fire when Mauviek bursts into the room.

“Brotak is calling for you again, Dhacar. You must come quickly.”

I look down at Lana, still laying unmoving on the furs. At least her skin is beginning to regain a bit of color now that she’s surrounded by warmth.

“We’ll take good care of her, Dhacar,” Sulve says. “She won’t wake for quite a while now that she’s been given the pain medication. You’ll most likely return before she wakes.”

When I tear my eyes away from Lana’s face, Sulve gives me an encouraging smile before motioning for me to go. It’s what I must do…what I’m expected to do. I’ve just never had a reason that felt more important to stay.

Still, I set her gently down in the furs and stand. “Send someone if anything about her condition changes,” I say.

“We will,” Sulve says.

And so I follow Mauviek from the cave and through the tunnels leading to the chaos, leaving my heart behind with Lana.
