Two Eyes Cenote nymph, then a virgin

She had not wanted out, she had wanted in-

Her mind works only in maddening slowness, submerged in Zaahira’s painful pleas. The fellahin falters forward, seeking to console her, as ingrained within her as breathing, to cease tears-

But she is just a girl again, questioning the merits of her own being. She cannot refuse jodai, yet her foot reaches again for a rearward step. This insubordination frightens her. She will pay for it. She needs to be gone before that can happen.

She courses through the halls, looking for one to turn into, fearing there are none. Then the threshold of Muat-Riya is within her sights and she blades beneath it.
