The Hero King
“But it looked like I might get it sooner than I wanted. There were six moons in the sky at the same time, each showing the familiar patterns of the one moon that should have been there. Together, six full moons reflected a lot of light, soft but bright, enough to read by—if I had had anything to read.Six moons also meant that there was no chance that I would sleep that night. One more moon and it was all over, even without Milliways, and I didn’t know how much time I had left, how much time eve...ryone had left, before the celestial parade was complete. Moon number seven might not appear for two or three weeks, or it might show up tomorrow night. As far as I had been able to determine, there were no regular intervals between new arrivals in the sky. The central temple of the Great Earth Mother was still somewhere farther to the north, and I couldn’t be sure how much farther, how many days—and nights—of riding it would take for me to reach it. I just had to keep plodding along as quickly as I could, hoping to get there in time.MoreLess
