Gilded Bay of all the things we've missed

The girl nodded her head when her father spoke. She understood the importance of family. She believed that it was a bond so sacred, nothing should break it. The moon girl thought of her mother with love in her heart. It was Kukutux who had made them so strong, so connected. The sun man had joined her, in this. Samani believed that her parents were very special.

But she thought of her future often. In the back of her mind, she had imagined forming a home for herself. A place where she could build a family like the one in Moonglow. It was difficult for her to think about. The sense of adventure that had built inside her was urging her to go- to seek that goal. The love she felt for her family was what kept her grounded.

Perhaps the future would shine favorably on her daydreams.
