The Hallowed Isle book Four
“5l5 MEDRAUT WAS A FACELESS SHADOW BETWEEN ARTOR AND the sun.
“So, my lord father, you kneel before me! Will you admit you are beaten at last?”
The king squinted up at him, licking blood from a lip that had split when he hit the ground. His helmet had come off; the air felt cool on his sweat-soaked hair. It was a little past noon.
“I kneel to the earth, whose power brought me down,” he said evenly. “Are you going to let me get up, or do I have to fight you from my knees?” They were getting wet; ...he looked down and realized that he had fallen in the shallows at the edge of the stream.
Medraut slowly lifted his sword. He’s tired, Artor observed, but he himself was exhausted. Perhaps it would be easier to fight from here. Or to let Medraut kill him. They were surrounded by the dead and dying. He had lost his army, he thought numbly, and Britannia.
The river ran purling past his foot, sweet and clear. When Medraut still did not answer, the king scooped up a handful of water.
His first thought was that he had not known he was so thirsty.MoreLess
