Stavanger Bay Some legends are told

Since I don't want to kill their new toy just yet, let's assume she doesn't squish the thing when she falls forward. :p

Liyaní’s new sense of sight had opened her mind to a whole other world of exploration. Everything that her feeble mind had previously known had abruptly shifted upon the opening of her eyes. Now, she gazed out into the confines of the den with milky blue eyes that drank in everything but hardly understood any of it.

Her mouth had been her main tool for discovering before she’d been able to see, and that seemed unlikely to change; Liyaní put her mouth on everything – toes, the heads and appendages of her siblings, pebbles, you name it. So when a beetle found its way into her family’s abode, it should have come as no surprise that the tiny girl wanted to investigate it.

Kevlyn seemed to have already claimed the insect as his toy, but that didn’t stop Liyaní from wobbling towards him and issuing a curious mewl of surprise when she first saw the object of her brother’s interest. She craned her neck towards it, but the motion caused her to lose her balance – her body wasn’t accustomed to shifting weight with ease – and she tumbled forward haphazardly onto the beetle.
