The Sorceror's Revenge
“Here lay the rotting corpse of a dead dog, decaying vegetables and all manner of filth washed there by the rain of the early spring. Now all had turned to a foul soup of thick slime that harboured rats and bred disease. As dusk fell, the figure wrapped in a dark cloak to cover the gown of a nobleman moved along the street, calling from house to house with the medicines, food and fresh water he brought each night.
Sickness haunted the hovels in this noisome place, and in almos...t every family there was at least one person whose body was beginning to show signs of the terrible rash that was the sign of a fearful sickness. As yet no one had died here but the apothecary knew that it was only a matter of time before the Grim Reaper took his dues. The apothecary had treated as many as he could, but there were too many of them now and soon the dread disease would spread to the townsfolk.
In France that year as the heat intensified disease and sickness had spread from city to town and town to village. In most cases no one visited to alleviate the suffering of the poor. People shrank from a disease they thought a curse of the Devil. Some prayed, others drank until they forgot their fear, others just lay on their beds and died.MoreLess
