Now for an Excerpt:
The battle that day was over by mid-morning. Alexander lost
twelve men. The enemy lost half their army and sued for peace before noon.
Alexander was carried into the infirmary where I was helping
Usse. His ankle had been shattered by a lance.
“Are you all right?” I asked, rushing to his side.
He stared at me, sweat pouring off his face, and his eyes
two wells of pain.
“Would I come here if I was all right?” he gasped.
I sat down next to him and held his hand while Usse took off
his sandal and examined the wound. When he probed, my own hand was nearly
broken in Alexander’s grip, and I yelped.
“Sorry,” muttered the slender Egyptian doctor, dousing the
ankle with hot water mixed with different herbs. He cleansed it and put a
splint around it. There wasn’t much else he could do. Now we just had to pray
it didn’t get infected.
We stayed for three days while we organized the peace talks
with both tribes. Then Alexander decided to pull out and head straight to Nysa.
An ambassador for the Assacenian king told us that the child of the moon was
being worshipped in Nysa.
The child of the moon was Paul, my baby, now nearly five
years old. I hadn’t seen him since he was ten days old.
Alexander left two divisions behind with his general Coenus
while we took the rest of the army. We would all join up at the Indus River.
