The Sword And the Quest: Lady Merlin's Saga (Epic Fantasy)
“Because the meaning of my quest had sealed me off from life. My quest for ore had become my life.
The gnome, silent as Caval yet always smiling, led me on to smell the flowers, laugh at the joyful kick of a mountain goat or the whistle of a bird in a wind-twisted tree. So empty was my world and the gnome the only other two legged walking creature in it that I began to follow the little beast in its pursuit of flowers, bees, worms, spiders, fishes, all those other creatures sharing the wor...ld with warrior men and women.
The gnome twisted the heads off flowers and showed them to me and the names of the flowers came into my head. The gnome shoved the flower heads into my mouth to eat. It snatched fish from streams and their names came to me, too, before the gnome fed them to me raw. It cut open birds with its flint knives and showed me their pumping hearts and bleeding veins and all those names appeared in my mind before we cooked and ate the creatures. The gnome chased down deer, I used the old scramasax to cut them apart, and we feasted on venison and lay hours burping in flowered fields.MoreLess
