Legion Lost
“After hours on end of walking along the riverbank, the tall figure is too exhausted for even basic conversation, let alone his usual quips. Though Stirling is wily and agile, it turns out he isn’t built for suffering over long distances, something I’ve discovered I’m pretty good at. My array of talents, however, does not extend into the realm of tent building.
After a horrific hike through the frozen forest, I stand like a spare part as Stirling and Apryl make mincemeat of putting up our sleepi...ng quarters for the night. Despite the obvious strain on Stirling’s bruised face, he says it’s better if those who’ve been properly trained set the tents up. At these words, Goddie gives him a bitter look, then whispers to me: “One time, Raja. One time de tent fell in on our heads, and now he won’t let me near dem.”
The atmosphere within our little black tent is a strange cross between the Arctic and a rainforest. Every surface is icy to the touch, but my skin is coated in a horrible, clammy sweat from all the walking we’ve done.MoreLess
