Child of Storm

CHAPTER XII
13/19

My heart is still on fire for that woman.

She has bewitched me; her eyes haunt my sleep and I hear her voice in the wind.

She is more to me than all the earth and all the sky, and although she has wronged me I do not wish that harm should come to her.

Macumazahn, I pray you if I die, do your best to befriend her, even though it be only as a servant in your house, for I think that she cares more for you than for anyone, who only ran away with him"-- and he pointed in the direction that Umbelazi had taken--"because he is a prince, who, in her folly, she believes will be a king.

At least take her to Natal, Macumazahn, where, if you wish to be free of her, she can marry whom she will and will live safe until night comes.
