Sun Mote Copse dinah

for @Mercury! sorry it took me so long to get this up <3

they were a small lot, and eshamun did not range far from the copse. arunik'ra was her sister; ar-khalba her lover, and she needed naught. her days were better spent tending their marked borders and searching for food. 

the ekar-aji woke with a sharp nausea burning her throat; she staggered in the darkness of early morning to a nearby clump of bushes, beneath which she vomited. awareness came to her as she lifted a delicate fore-ankle to wipe the saliva from her lips -- eshamun smiled and moved off into the greening wood, to seek out water and a place to thank molech for his blessings upon her.
