Rosewater Oasis tongue

Ko'a's feet did not take her far from the Ravine, the land of red rock and water. She skirted into the open heat, a bounding trot. The lands were all new and welcoming and the curious young woman meant to roam them. 

Soon, she saw green and soon later, she saw blue. There were clusters of palms, surrounding a pool of water. Here, a blood-stained, one-eyed coyote's head was lowered to drink. Ko'a did not come to him but did approach cautiously to the water's edge to drink too. 

She knew as a half-blood, she was at times not seen fitting among coyote just as much as unfitting as wolf. It was a god send that she had the kinship and protection of Tribe.
