Hard Fallen

 

Manx

 
 

Adua gasps in pain
beyond moonstone power
dragged upon a chain
past the east wall tower
healers try in vain

potion of uli flower?

sunstone shakes and groans
"nearly dead in town"
six and twenty stones
eventually gather round
Adua quietly moans

but not another sound

sun begins to rise
Adua hasn't yet
every healer cries
townies place their bets
hope fades from her eyes

Horus sends regrets
