My voice sounded thin in my ears but that was because of the smoke.He touched me on the breast and the forehead. He gave me the bow and the three arrows."Take them," he said. "It is forbidden to travel east. It is forbidden to cross the river. It is forbidden to go to the Place of the Gods. All these things are forbidden.""All these things are forbidden," I said, but it was my voice that spoke and not my spirit. He looked at me again."My son," he said. "Once I had young dreams.
