The Sunspire [m] sun born

the mountains could have flooded and it would not have put out this burning.

why had she waited so long for this? maybe because she had not known it would be a woman! and with a woman she felt no fear, no worrying of the vying vipers of men come to steal her divinity.

here things were leveled. the positions when bedding one another did not change the power they swayed over each other.

a man would have left her to lay, would have taken the head start.

instead there was only the smallest, nearly playful, sliver of time between their starts. makono expected to be matched here too! surely this one had not picked the mountain to hide within for its ease of access. she ached deeply with memories of training and found she longed for a military life once more, perhaps.

but her future (brief or not, she could not tell) was shaped in the tiny frame of a coywolf.

makono ran as if she had no fear of falling on rain slick slopes.
