“I am the bone,” she whispered. “And you are the blood that will water the grass.”
She caught his wrist. Squeezed. The bones ground together like stones in a stream. He dropped the knife.
The fire crackled. One of the Tanguts was telling a story. Something about a woman he’d taken in the last raid. Borte felt her blood rise, hot and red—but no. She silenced it. Blood was temporary. Bone was patient.
Borte moved.
An hour later, she found their camp. A dry riverbed, sheltered by a lip of basalt. Fires. Laughter. The smell of her clan’s mutton roasting on their spits.
