The Steelmaster of Indwallin, book 2 of the Gods Within
“Will these dreams never end?”
There were several angels in the barracks and they all looked his way. One of them, sitting on a nearby cot sharpening his sword, asked, “Did you dream badly, whiteface?”
“This is the dream, you damn fool,” Morddon growled. But then he hesitated, looked at his hands once more, understood Morgin’s anger was mixing with Morddon’s guilt to form a deadly combination. Morgin concentrated on calming down while Morddon growled at the angel, “Sorry. Guess I didn’t wake up ...well.”
The angel frowned, perhaps more at the apology than anything else, then went back to sharpening his sword.
Morddon crawled off his cot, looked about groggily. His afternoon nap had lasted longer than expected and evening was now upon him. He staggered to the bathhouse at the back of the barracks, washed carefully. Since returning to Kathbeyanne he’d taken up, what for him, was the unusual habit of bathing regularly, and he was drinking less. Glistening with moisture he threw his long, black hair back over his shoulders and returned to his cot.MoreLess
