Lion Head Mesa So much (for) stardust

a woman was a welcomed sight.

dusted in earth and lined with gold. a stone raised from the sandy earth itself full of bounty. it was how she witnessed the girl.

this is akashingo and, i, its pharaoh. her lapis gaze took its time in the appraisal of the woman. beautiful.

would akashingo lose this one too?

what have you called for? her voice remained warm even when her thoughts teetered icy.
