Taataa spoke that tongue.
But Callyope did not know it enough to know clearly what was said.
Her heart found no break from its rampant beating. For a moment she wondered if she truly had crossed over into some spirit realm. As if she might open her eyes and be at mother's alter.

When she quaked now it was with awe. Grand and great.
He was large, ruddy but swarthy.

Your eyes would not be seen.She told him in this hushed, enchanted state.
You are not like brother owl.But she found she did not mind these things. Not in the least.

You are Dying Sun,His new-given name spoken in mother tongue.
Like none other.
