Serpent Lake To my dismay, I have forgotten how to leave

Nephele closed her eyes.

Not a good place. First, they were rare. Next, I lived in woods where there was little view of the sky. She said. She opened her eyes again, tipping her head around to look at her visitor again. Handsome, she noted briefly, because even the most handsome shouldn’t be judged on looks alone. That was how she had been suckered by Pidáo.

Never again.

Never.

Nephele cleared her throat.

Its nice to know they’re still out there, even if I didn’t see them.
