Chainfire - Sword of Truth Book 9

Description from the back of the book

'How much of this blood is his?'

'Most of it, I'm afraid,' a second woman said as they both rushed along beside him.

As Richard fought to focus his mind on hs need to remain concious, the breathless voices sounded to him as if they were coming from some great dim distance. He wasn't sure who they were. He knew them, but right then it just didn't seem to matter.

The crushing pain in the left side of his chest and his need for air had him at the ragged edge of panic. It was all he could do to try to draw each crucial breath.

Even so, he had a bigger worry. Richard struggld to put voice to his burning concern, but he couldn't form the words, couldn't get out any more than a gasping moan. He clutched the arm of the woman beside him, desperate to get them to stop, to get them to listen. She misunderstood and instead urged the men carrying him to hurry, even though they halready panted with the effort of bearing him over the rocky ground in the deep shade among the towering pines. They tried to be as gentle as possible, but they never dared to slow. Not far off a rooster crowed into the still air, as if this was an ordinary morning like any other.
