Lion Head Mesa iceplant

this can be short and sweet if you'd like! dated for tonight, so before she leaves <3

the sun would rise tomorrow.

the time would come for the mourning to end — for all of akashingo, at least. makono found something bittersweet about it. she aspired to be the living breathing memory of her mother in the wake of all of this. a portrait to what the great queen left behind.

but tomorrow she would be taken back to mereo by the soldier.

things were likely already being gathered for her affairs. she had instructed special meats that would last the travel to be packed. a bundle of herbs. things that signified the impactful importance of akashingo's claim in the mesa.

she had prepped herself as well, but found herself unable to rest.

there was one matter that still needed to be tended to and secured.

she raised her head and called sharply for @Nazli — a sound that was not entirely uncommon by now.
