The PearlAgainst the sky in the cave entrance Juana could see t put on kino was taking off his white clothes for dirty and ragged, though, they would show up against the dark night. His own brown skin was a better protection for him. And thusly she saw how he hooked his Amulet neck-string about the horn handle of his nifty knife, so that it hung in front of him, and left both hands free. Juana had given over up her prayers of magic and tradition by this time. She felt them to be pointless after all she had been through.
