'Yes, ma'am.'
Savidlin, Weselan, and Siddin returned a short brazil escorts time later. Richard had
closed his eyes and rested as he chewed the leaves, and he said his brazil escorts head
felt a little better. Siddin was excited. He was a local celebrity, having
ridden on a dragon. He had spent the better part of the day telling other
children what it had been like. Now he wanted to sit in Kahlan's lap and
tell her about how he had been the center of attention.
She listened with a smile while brazil escorts they all ate stew and tava bread. Like
her, Richard didn't want any cheese. Savidlin offered him a piece of smoked
meat. Richard politely declined.
Brazil escorts as they were finishing their brazil escorts meal, a grim-faced Bird Man, ringed by men
with spears, showed up at the brazil escorts door. Everyone set their bowls down
and
stood. Kahlan didn't like the look on his face.
Richard brazil escorts stepped forward. 'What is it? What's happened?'
The Bird brazil escorts Man took in

brazil escorts strangers, have come on horses.'
Kahlan wondered brazil escorts why three brazil escorts women would bring men with spears brazil escorts around the

Richard unconsciously loosened his sword in its scabbard, his brow taking
on a hawklike set. 'Where are they?'
'I had them wait in the spirit house.'
Kahlan hooked some hair behind her ear. 'Did they say who they brazil escorts are?'
The Bird Man's long silver hair gleamed in the light of the setting sun
brazil escorts coming from behind him. 'They called themselves the Sisters of the Light.'
Kahlan's breath caught in her brazil escorts throat; goose bumps rippled up her arms. Her
insides felt as if brazil escorts they had been twisted into an icy knot.
She couldn't make her eyes blink.
CHAPTER 9
Richard frowned. 'Well? Who are brazil escorts they?
What did he say?'
Still, she couldn't make her eyes blink. She could only manage a whisper.
'He said they are the Sisters of brazil escorts the Light.'
He stared at her a long moment. 'Who are the Sisters of the Light?'
Finally, she blinked and looked over at him. 'I brazil escorts don'
