Lion Head Mesa Khnum

Yes, Belen. It is normal. This is why we only have the fruits on special occasions, you understand?

Kasmut was pleased that she had enjoyed them, that she felt lighter than she had before. The pale flower could not see the girl’s thoughts of her parents. She believed that Belen would not remember them for long, or at least they would become less of a focus. Once she had been loved by the Pharaoh, there would likely be nothing else she would desire.

Come, let us go back to your furs and the warmth there. You can rest until you feel better and once you have cleared the fruits from your mind, you should drink water.

Kasmut nudged the girl again, hoping she would be able to walk without tripping on her own feet.
