Greatwater Lake she was afraid of dreadful prophecies

scylla contemplated his question for a moment with a hmm, letting a comfortable silence hang in the balance before answering. it was not a simple question for in truth, she lacked the credibility to assign any labels. however, the young melonii knew enough. some would call them bad. most, actually.

i suppose very later in their history they were quite neutral, but i think that was probably a consquence of how cruelly and immorally they lived all those generations before. how different she would have been if she existed in the times of blackfeather woods' more sinister days. who would she have been? my father once said either our bloodline or the land itself was cursed. she thought that maybe it had been hypocritical of him to say. from what she had gathered from his stories, many of their downfalls had come at his own hands. but cursed? it wasn't something she could believe. scylla had not seen that theory in motion. perhaps if she had... she would have absolutely believed it.
