"[Saint Mary’s Order's] walk from the well drew out to enable Lithuania’s struggle for freedom, a struggle that only seemed to drag him down deeper into the earth, deeper into the bones. He clawed at the wheat stalks, ripping them from their roots in a desperation to free his failing body, but it was the cruelty of a drowning man to drown also his saviors. Fistfuls of wheatberries, nailbeds of mud, blood on his teeth; Lithuania’s hair stuck to his face as he choked on filth, Mary’s glistening boots coming into level view just before the darkness enveloped him" - @doomspiral Call to Alms (Chapter 3)
