The Black Stallion Legend (2011)
“Heaven has opened.”
Alec was overwhelmed by the strange greeting. He stared at the Indian’s dark, wrinkled face. He had never seen such sorrow written on a face before. The old man looked a hundred years old, his body frail, his long hair ghostly white and decorated with eagle feathers. Yet his small, powerful eyes were wild in what must have been his anticipation of Alec’s coming.
Alec studied the old man’s eyes, and he thought how much like the Indian boy’s eyes they were. Was this Alph’s old... father, leader of the clan? If so, what was he doing here, deep in this subterranean chamber?
The old man continued to wave his thin arms toward Alec while repeating over and over again, “Heaven has opened. Heaven has opened.”
Alec moved toward him, closer still. The Indian’s body was naked except for a leather kilt and moccasins. Beneath taut skin, his bones showed prominently. He was sitting on the floor behind a line of blue-colored sand. Directly in front of him was a wood plank with bread, raw meat, tobacco and cornmeal.MoreLess
