Alone, standing amid the wreckage of the House of Urantz, the last
of Valni's strength ebbed. She trembled, a young girl wearing a
parvis oil soaked sack dress, her head hanging forward, her long
hair caught in a shaft of sunlight. Slowly she descended to her
knees, sinking them in the ash and charcoal which covered the floor
of the fire gutted hall. The fire and smoke blackened sculptures of
her ancestors and her parents remained on their pedestals where the
Mools had left them in dread of magic. The stone eyes stared
blankly at the scarred and blackened opposite walls. Gradually the
girl toppled forward and stretched out amid the charred debris,
wriggling in it and covering herself with it despairingly. Her
weeping was a lone, unheard anguish, lost on the empty plain, the
last sound of a living Latannese between the horizons.
