The angel sat back, looking stunned.
“Did you hear, Sister Angela?” The other little nun was back, moving closer on his other side. She was younger than his angel, but cute as a button.
For the first time in his life, he realized he was looking upon a human female without any trace of lust. That thought had him rocking back on his heels, figuratively at least. Perhaps it had something to do with his illness, but no, he wanted his angel as much as he ever wanted any woman. Actually, more so. He didn’t think he had ever wanted a particular woman this much. But her little friend didn’t stir any interest in him at all.
The realization confused him, but he was too weak to sort through it now. He decided to concentrate his energies on getting well first, then he would figure out what had changed inside him. Because surely, something fundamental had indeed, changed.
He had been feeling different for a while, but he hadn’t been able to figure out what was wrong. It looked like he was going to have to deal with it now. There was little more he could do while confined to a sick bed. Maybe it was time to take stock of what was going on inside him and plot a course for the future.
“I heard, sister,” the woman called Angela replied to her friend, her soft voice drawing Zeke’s wavering attention. “We must tell Mother Rachel.”
“I know already, children. Be at ease.” A new, more mature female voice floated through the chamber to him, coming closer. With it came a fragrance of flowers and earth, and a beautiful, slightly older woman stepped into his line of view. “Your arrival was foreseen. Be welcome, Son of Amber. Can you tell us your name?”
He didn’t know why, but he wanted to tell this lovely older woman whatever she wanted to know. He would reveal all his secret plans, if she just asked, but she only wanted his name. That he could give her before his strength failed.
“Ezekiel.”
