Walker of Time (1998)
“Only the sacred words of the ancient prayer song that he sang prevented total fear from invading his body and soul. As he twisted and turned the paho in his shaking hand, the eagle feathers danced with a simple grace, luring the rattlesnake’s complete attention.
Walker felt Tag’s quick movement beside him. The football-sized rock came smashing down toward the snake. The ancient song died in Walker’s throat as the snake’s head was crushed.
“Taawa, thank you,” Walker prayed silently. He looked up... at the girl. Staring down at the dead snake, her almond-shaped, black eyes were wide with astonished confusion.
She was about Walker’s age. Her beautiful oval face was thin with full lips and high cheek bones. Straight bangs hung just above her dark, expressive eyebrows. Her waist-length, blue-black hair glistened in the bright sunshine. She wore a short shirt of yellow handwoven cloth. Draped over her right shoulder was a loose-fitting yellow mantle that came down to the top of her skirt.MoreLess
