 Simon Keatings, Chapter 2
Resheph is watching me. He had seen far too much of the hideous thing over the past few weeks, although it had never shown its face (if you could call that putrefacted maggot nest a face) while anyone besides Simon was around.
He couldn't leave fast enough, not knowing how the Dreamspeakers would feel about what had happened in the sweat lodge, not knowing where Resheph was or what it was learning about the chantry here in the hills.
He saw the shadow of a gun; Resheph, he felt certain, saw the shadow as well, whether through Simon's eyes or the putrefacted orbs of its decaying form he could not tell.
