СКАЧАТЬ chance. She came to me every day, asking me to check on her son.’

      â€˜Son?’ Leesha asked.

      â€˜I warned her it might not be a boy,’ Bruna said, ‘but Elona was stubborn. “The Creator could not be so cruel”, she’d say, forgetting that the same Creator made the corelings.’

      â€˜So all I am is some cruel joke of the Creator?’ Leesha asked.

      Bruna grabbed Leesha’s chin in her bony fingers and pulled her in close. Leesha could see the long grey hairs, like cat’s whiskers, on the crone’s wrinkled lips as she spoke.

      â€˜We are what we choose to be, girl,’ she said. ‘Let others determine your worth, and you’ve already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves. Elona has no one to blame but herself for her bad choices, but she’s too vain to admit it. Easier to take it out on you and poor Erny.’

      â€˜I wish she’d been exposed and run out of town,’ Leesha said.

      â€˜You would betray your gender out of spite?’ Bruna asked.

      â€˜I don’t understand,’ Leesha said.

      â€˜There’s no shame in a girl wanting a man twixt her legs, Leesha,’ Bruna said. ‘An Herb Gatherer can’t judge folks for doing what nature intended they do when they are young and free. It’s oath breakers I can’t abide. You say your vows, girl, you’d best plan on keeping them.’
