The Glass Mountains (1995)
“I finally asked Moor. “Yes, I’m going away from the inn. I don’t know what I’m going toward.” We walked all night through the village, and well before morning we passed through town and into some flower-covered hills. We slept in bushes, and when we awoke I felt ravenous, and ridiculously optimistic despite what had happened the night before. The sky shone less blue than in Bakshami, where there were no motorsleds and few machines, but I’d never seen such clouds, huge white swollen masses th...at threw shadows on the hills encircling us. The flowers were every shade of pink and red, so profuse they often blocked out sections of the green hills entirely. “How can they catch us in a country so crowded?” “There are many who’ll see us and report for a price. To kill a soldier is a severe crime in both sectors. Luckily even severe crimes are soon forgiven if you’re fortunate enough not to get killed for them.” “Then we can trust no one.” “There are people who check the listings for criminals every day, in case they’re fortunate enough to spot one and claim a reward.”MoreLess
