by 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
