                                 Chapter 20

   Circa 130 BCE

   Communing in my dreams with the mother-goddess, NerthÅ, I felt a
   slight breeze upon my face and heard her voice upon it. Your people
   are calling you, sister, she whispered in my ear. Stirring myself
   awake I heard a group of men in the distance, chanting in the old
   tongue. My people, the DarrihardÅz tribe, were calling to me.

   With some irritation I noted they were once again mispronouncing my
   name. These young ones did not appreciate the old ways. I stood and
   stretched, realizing that I had been dozing for days again, and
   curious to see what they had brought. Feeling the ache in my muscles I
   wrapped my chest and took up my bow and quiver as I left my cave and
   headed for the altar clearing.

   Unfortunately they were still there when I arrived. They had chosen to
   take a short meal there in communion. It was an option they were
   allowed, but it annoyed me nonetheless. I watched silently from the
   woods with only idle curiosity, waiting for them to depart as I was
   loath to meet with them.
