Qeya River fear the light, fear the breath

how, indeed.
the sun eater man, my uncle.

sulukinak did not want to explain all that came before the qeya. the trial, the banishment. it was not her story to tell, not really - and who would it serve?

would ash lose respect for cen? would they learn fear? sulukinak did not know what was better to have, and would not disrupt what her uncle was trying to accomplish here.

i come from far, far north. met uncle here, followed him.
