Copyright C www. The air stirred slightly with the smell of warm, musky fur. The lord of opium free pdf download jumped to his feet, but the sleeping bag entangled him and he fell. His hands collided with sharp thorns. He flailed around for a rock, a knife, any sort of weapon. Something huffed. The musky odor became stronger. Then he realized it was a flashlight and turned it on. The beam illuminated a large, doglike face at the other end of the sleeping bag.
He remembered, long ago, a note Tam Lin had written him about the hazards of this place: Ratlesnakes heer. Saw bare under tree. This was definitely a bare. Matt had only seen them on TV, where they did amusing tricks and begged for treats. Matt tried to remember what to do. Look bigger? Play dead? The flashlight! It was a special one used by the Farm Patrol.
One button was for ordinary use, the other shone with ten times the brightness of the sun. Flashed into the eyes of an Illegal, it would blind the person for at least half an hour.
The animal screamed. It hurled itself away, falling over bushes, lord of opium free pdf download, moaning with terror, breaking branches as it fled.
Matt struggled to his feet. Where was he? Why was he alone? After a minute he remembered to switch the beam off to save the battery. Darkness enveloped him, and for a few minutes he was as blind as the bear.
He sat down again, shivering. Gradually, the night settled back into a normal pattern, and he realized that he was at the oasis. He cradled the flashlight. Tam Lin had given it to him, to protect him from animals when he was camping. The flaring light made him feel better. Tam Lin had burned the sleeping bag and scolded the boy for foolishness. Matt heaped the fire with dry wood from the supply Tam Lin had always maintained.
He could see the familiar outlines of an old cabin and a collapsed grapevine. He would never come here again.
The funeral, three months before, had been attended by fifty bodyguards dressed in black suits, with guns hidden under their arms and strapped to their legs. The floor of the tomb had been covered with drifts of gold coins. The bodyguards had filled their pockets with gold, probably thinking their fortunes were made, but that was before they drank the poisoned wine. Matt drew the sleeping bag around himself, trembling with grief and nerves. He would not sleep again.
To distract himself, he looked for the constellations Tam Lin had shown him. It was early spring, and Orion the Hunter was still in the sky.
Heed the stars of his belt, said Tam Lin. Where they set is true west. Remember that, lad. They had been roasting hot dogs over a fire and drinking cider from a bottle Tam Lin had cooled by submerging it in the lake. What a grand existence it must be, mused the bodyguard, turning his battered face lord of opium free pdf download the sky, to roam the heavens like Orion with his faithful dogs at heel. The dogs, Sirius and Procyon, were two of the brightest stars in the summer sky.
Matt hoped Tam Lin was roaming now in whatever afterlife he inhabited. They must be somewhere the rest of the time, Matt reasoned. Matt found Polaris, around which the other stars circled, and the Scorpion Star but that was so easy even an eejit could do it.
The Scorpion Star was always in the south and, like Polaris, lord of opium free pdf download, never moved. Matt was proud of this, for it was his name too. A breeze was stirring, and a pale rosy border outlined the eastern mountains.
Gray-green juniper trees darkened valleys high up lord of opium free pdf download the rocks, lord of opium free pdf download, and the oasis was dull silver under a gray sky. A crow called, making Matt jump at the sudden noise. After breakfast and a short, sharp swim in the lake, Matt hiked along the trail to the boulder that blocked the entrance to the valley.
In this rock, if you looked at just the right angle, was a shadow that turned out to be a smooth, round opening like the hole in a donut. Beyond was a steep path covered with dry pebbles that slid beneath your feet. The air changed from the fresh breeze of the mountain to something slightly sweet, with a hint of corruption. The scent of opium poppies. The Lord of Opium.
