Northstar Vale tea leaves

@Dusty Rose whenever! <3

epoch had never named the third and fourth lakes. tamar visited each as night crept over the vale. the third lake was a sprawl of grey sand and shallow edges where turtles clustered.

the fourth lake was punctuated by boulders lifting from the current. she leapt to one and then another, the moon shining twice, once in the sky, once below upon the surface of the water.

another jutting stone, another, another, until she lightly bounded back the way she had come,  a streak of golden red whisking from one rock to the next.
