The Sentinels Aero

Samani did not believe it to be sad. The island was surrounded by the sea and all its life. It was cradled by the water and allowed not to be swallowed. The island was strong and loved. It was a beautiful thing to be called, she felt.

The names he shared were different from her own. She liked that. The sea girl believed that they could share names.

Perhaps if we have our black bear son, he can be called Rolayne. Rolayne Aklaq- Oh! Rodyn, would you wish for them to be Ardeth or Nuiruk? she asked him, brow creased with thought, with worry. She had not even considered that he may hope to pass his family name to his offspring. She had thought only of herself. Shame flooded her. Samani didn’t want him to feel that his opinions did not matter. She needed to do better.
