The mountain she had lost everything upon had given way to this.
The mountain where she had come to gain so much.
As woman, and now as wife.
Chakliux faded into the muted grey of shadow, and Tullik reached down to pull her horn back into her mouth. Then, perhaps a bit overeager, she would tumble into pursuit. Her heart hummed like the noise of a beetle’s wing, feeling ever so fast as warmth burned in her ribs. Not the angry boil of her grief, so hot it felt choking, but the warmth of a hearth.
Tullik was second wife, with a home instead of her lonely outpost upon the mountain. She would have to return there tomorrow for her pelts.
She followed at Chakliux’s flank until such a time as he stopped, where she would hover uncertainly there like a hummingbird unsure of where to buzz to next.
