I could see them in my sights.

They were about a mile off ; ;

under me the ground quivered slightly.

At first they were only feathers and dark indistinguishable faces and bodies, hunched over their horses' heads.

Gradually they emerged as men.

Gray Eyes was in the lead.

His face was split by a vermilion streak, his eyes were pools of white ; ;

jagged red and black medicine symbols covered his chest.

He was naked except for a clout.

Next to him was a young boy I was sure had sat near me at one of the trading sessions.

His mouth was open, his neck corded with the strain of his screams.

I found his chest in my sights.

It had a red circle.

The circle came nearer and nearer.
