Valley of Gold a voice

tamar went to their leaders.

bringing a meal of two rabbits, she informed @Solveig and @Rusalka that she would be traveling to the desert with @Zulema, to look for their family before arsenio departed.

but when she rejoined her daughter at the edge of the plateau, she mentioned nothing about those dispersed children.

they traveled down the flatlands until akashingo grew larger; in tightness had tamar diverted them to the mountains. they rested in the hollow where paleo had once been, and went on the next morning.

on the way back, she said, they would visit the vale.

stony terrain gave way to tarns, and then to new green wheat, a sea of it, broken here and there by soft grass and gathered pools of cold water.

by late summer, this would all be gold. she looked out across the rolling green, then leapt forward in delighted doelike delight.
