Two Eyes Cenote you can't help but become the sun

Eager to escape being cooped up with his quarrelling sisters, Kheti was more than keen to lead their little troop into the desert sunshine. After a month of growing, his legs had become more sturdy, his eyes now accustomed to the light - but the outside world had so much more life.

He sniffed the fragrant cactus bloom, concerned that it seemed to have sharp teeth like his siblings. Returning to the others he kept close to Inji's forelegs, eyes wide in awe as he listened raptly to his mother's talk of the red palace. The thwack of his tail against her revealed his excitement, but the little boy thought only of how big the world could be. If there were places outside the quarters, outside the cenote - further than the palace; he wished to see it all with his own eyes someday.
