She bent down to listen to his heart.
Oh Lord! Nothing.
Hes gone
Leah heard a wailing noise, it was pitiful and damned annoying.
It was coming from her
NOooooooooo!
Her grief was unbelievably painfulManutaai might as well have slashed her. She closed her eyes and hugged him close to her. She could feel the heat dissipating from his body.
She gasped that was not heat?
Her eyes remained shut for she could see
A spirit. Taloktas spirit.
She let go of her grief and pain the terrible human emotions.
And like the death missile the humans had launched she merged once more with his spirit. A spirit of the dead.
It is not your time!
And the voices that she could hear chanting and calling to her came forth.
Catch up, catch up
Got you, for you Saetu Alumai
Mother of the Universe, of Life and Death.
