Jamílah and Husam

‘Come, little Mother,’ said Husam, putting his arm about her shoulders. Nasr and I are going to the meeting in Ishak’s tent. The young ones’ camp has been found and we must make a plan to set upon them.’ Jamílah leaned against him, feeling suddenly old. ‘I promised Qirfah I would look after you.’ She started to protest, but he went on. ‘As did Nasr promise Qamar.’ He laughed grimly. ‘No use to fight us. There will be foes aplenty to spend your strength on.’

The meeting was short. Their camp had been found, but the youngsters were on the move, it seemed - west. They would have to ride quickly if they were to engage them before they met the army of the Eye.
