Child of Storm

CHAPTER XVI
15/16

You were with them, you remember, Macumazahn; and why was I not at your side?
Oh! then we would have swept away the Usutu as the wind sweeps ashes.

Why was I not at your side to share the glory?
I remember now--because of the Daughter of Storm.

She betrayed me for Umbelazi, and I betrayed Umbelazi for her; and now he haunts me, whose greatness I brought to the dust; and the Usutu wolf, Cetewayo, curls himself up in his form and grows fat on his food.

And--and, Macumazahn, it has all been done in vain, for Mameena hates me.

Yes, I can read it in her eyes.
