The Days of the Deer
“Standing on its hind legs, an adult luku came up to the waist of a Husihuilke warrior. When erect, they advanced only awkwardly, yet if they used their paws, they could bound along tirelessly.
Their shiny tails, which rose high above their heads, were lashes for any foe. Wherever they struck, they left a bloody wound. Then, thanks to the confusion this caused, the luku would return to the attack. If a luku succeeded in wrapping his tail round his adversary, the result was horrific. To emerg...e alive from a combat against a group of enraged lukus was rare, even for the warriors of the Ends of the Earth. But the lukus had enormous eyes, through which their souls were visible.
When the lukus crossed the Marshy Bridge, the same one Cucub had taken in the opposite direction on his way to Dulkancellin’s village, the sky was blue; the sun was warming the sand.
Unlike the Zitzahay messenger, the lukus did not try to avoid the Pastors.MoreLess
