World’s End
“We’ve been in these clown-striped badlands for days.
Today we finally met another pilgrim, here in this twisting maze of canyons. He was leading a huge whillp, one of those rubbery, glistening things from Big Blue that secrete acid to suck nourishment out of the rock, and never eat or drink. It was loaded down with sacks and containers, and it oozed along the canyon at barely walking speed.
I couldn’t imagine how long the man must have been out here, moving at the whillp’s pace. I decided it wa...s too long, because when he saw us he wasn’t afraid. He stood in the middle of the dry wash, waving his arms, shouting and grinning through his pale beard as if we were the best thing he’d ever seen.
Ang stopped the rover and we got out. Even the sight of three sweating, filthy, armed men didn’t wipe the smile off of his face. Spadrin stood on one side of me; his eyes were narrow and cold. Ang stood on the other; his face was grim with a kind of tension that I’d never seen on it before.MoreLess
