  1. Patricia A. McKillip _ The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

    Soon is such a long word.

  2. Patricia A. McKillip _ The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

    Be gentle with yourself, my white one. Come with me tomorrow through the forest; we will gather black mushrooms and herbs that, crushed against the fingers, give a magic smell. You will feel the sun on your hair and the rich earth beneath your feet, and the fresh winds scented with the spice of snow from the hidden places on Eld Mountain. Be patient, as you must always be patient with new pale seeds buried in the dark ground. When you are stronger, you can begin to think again. But now is the time to feel.

  4. Patricia A. McKillip _ The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

    This bond I draw between you: that though you are parted in mind or in body, there will be a call in the core of you, one to the other, that nothing, no one else will answer to. By the secrets of earth and water, this bond is woven, unbreakable, irrevocable; by the law that created fire and wind this call is set in you, in life and beyond life . . .

  5. Patricia A. McKillip _ The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

    Can you call a man?""If I choose to," she said, surprised. "I have never done it.""Then if you ever have anything to fear from any man who comes here, will you call me? I will come. Whatever I am doing will remain undone, and I will come to you. Will you?""But why? You know I will do nothing for you. Why would you ride all the way from Sirle to help me?"He looked at her silently. Then he shrugged, the snow melting in his fiery hair. "I do not know. Because. Will you?""If I need you, I will call."He loosed her hand, smiling. "And I will come.""But I probably will not. Anyway, if I want you, I can call you, and you will come without choice."He sighed. He said patiently, "I choose to come. It makes a difference.""Does it?" Then her eyes curved slightly in a smile. "Go home to your world of the living, Coren. That is where you belong. I can take care of myself.""Perhaps." He gathered the reins in his hands, turned his mount toward the road that wound downward to Mondor. Then he looked back at her, his eyes the color of clear mountain water. "But one day you will find out how good it is to have someone who chooses to come when you call.

    The giant Grof was hit in one eye by a stone, and that eye turned inward so that it looked into his mind and he died of what he saw there.

  10. Patricia A. McKillip _ The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

    Oh...if you were older...It is not a bad thing, itself, but it is a bad thing to be used by men, to have them choose what you must be, and what you must not be, to have little choice in your life. If you were older, you could choose your own way.

  12. Patricia A. McKillip _ The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

    He ran from her suddenly, swift and quiet like a mountain cat among the high peeks of Eld mountain. She watched him dive in among the trees, and the autumn winds shoke suddenly at his heels. She sad down on a fallen trunk and dropped her head among the knees. A great soft warmth shiled her from the wind, and she looked up and saw into Gules Lyons quiet, golden eyes.What is it, white one?She knelt suddenly and flung his arms around the great mane, and burried her face against him. I wish that I had wings and could fly and fly and never come back.What has troubled you, Orams powerful child? What can trouble you? What can such a small one as Coren of Sirle say to touch you?For a long moment she did not answer. And then she said, her fingers tight around the gold tangeled fur. He has taken my heart and offered it back to me. And I thought he was harmless."
