I was alone on the plain. I had no money, no food and water. I could walk back to the town, but what would become of me there? My mind was slipping; as the sky darkened, I thought I saw a ring glow near me.
The wind died; the world became silent. In the distance, someone was walking along the road toward me. As the figure drew nearer, I saw that it was a woman. Her face was coppery, and her hair black; she wore a long yellow robe and a necklace of small blue feathers. Approaching, she took my hand, but did not speak. Somehow I sensed that I was safe with her. We walked together for a while; the moon rose and lighted our way. "What shall I do?" I said at last. "Where is the nearest town? Can you help me?" She did not answer, but instead held my arm more tightly; her eyes pleaded with me. I said, "I have no money, no place to go." She shook her head slowly, then released me and stepped back. The sudden light almost blinded me. The sun was high overhead, but the woman's face was shadowed. She held out her hand, beckoning to me. A ring shone around her, and then she was gone.
