Quote #10
Six years ago she had almost died, crossing it, though then she had carried food and water. Now she had nothing. But she did not turn back. Death would be better than the life she had been living. This time, though, the desert seemed to let her through as it if had chosen to do so. It provided her with two freak thunderstorms and a water hole large enough to support a colony of birds which, having no predators, laid their eggs on the ground. (Epilogue.3)
Generations after our tale ends, Saranja Urlasdaughter comes home to Woodbourne. She has shunned her family and her duty as an Urlasdaughter, but fate still guides her back. The desert magically provides enough food and water for her to get back to Woodbourne. Hmm... do we have another quest to the Ropemaker on our hands?
