Usage examples of "salin".

The Uisgu Salin and her escort had been fed and were now sleeping off the effects of their hard journey.

Kadiya divided their supplies into three packs, for Salin needed her full strength, the girl judged, to use her staff and keep her feet upon this broken land.

She heard Salin whimper and the Uisgu woman fell to her knees both hands to her head.

It was Salin who was supporting her now, rather than she the wisewoman.

Smail and Salin aided her to her feet and she stood swaying between them, as weak as if she had lain long ill.

As did Salin, it was using a staff, manifestly to keep itself upright.

She heard Salin give a small whistling sound and realized that the wisewoman must have been sharing her fears.

Then Salin was urging her on, taking only three or four steps at a time.

They had made good time she was sure, even Salin keeping the pace Kadiya had set without faltering.

Smail, and Salin, the latter holding to her walking staff though the speed Lamaril had set was not taxing as yet.

Kadiya projected a mind call with all her strength plus that added energy Salin fed her.

Someone had come to stand behind Salin, but Kadiya dared not let her concentration be broken.

Tostlet held at last ai hand cupped about a bundle of twisted leaves while Salin watched with attention.

Lalan flanked Salin as they started out, though she was watchful only, not giving any physical aid to the wisewoman whose staff did not seem this morning to be so much of a crutch as a badge of office.

Kadiya had only a breath of time to throw herself to one side, carrying Salin with her, before it rose for another leap, one which would bring its giant weight down upon the whole party.
