DESTINY from, DESTINY'S PROMISE anthology, SF/Romance/Fantasy
The sun was setting low in the sky when Shera finally staggered into the outskirts of the village. Her head pounded, her throat was parched, and every part of her body was battered by fatigue. Her muscles screamed with it. The heavy pack that she wore on her back almost flattened her to the dusty ground as she stumbled the last few steps onto the porch of the little cottage.
She knew that her life was almost at an end. She knew by the feel of the weakness that coursed through her, as constant as the beat of her heart. She could feel the last of her strength leave her, just as her hand grasped the door handle.
Her knees buckled, and with a groan, she collapsed in a heap into the dirt.
A tear escaped her eye, trailing through the dust on her cheek. She had failed. She did not even have strength enough left to call out to her daughter. Dizziness assailed her, and blackness stole her vision, narrowing her perspective to no more than a pinpoint of light before it was gone completely.
