Two Eyes Cenote mercury

It is with small, tentative steps that the girl ventures into the red hall for the very first time.

She pauses every so often to take in the towering cavern, eyes tracing the floor before following the walls upwards. Behind her is the room where she and her siblings had spent their entire short lives so far, where @Nazli had taken them in as her own – not that the siblings knew any better. To Asenath at least, she was their true mother. At the thought, she hesitates, casting a glance over her shoulder to see if the woman, or even her brothers or sisters followed.

Her focus snaps back to the area immediately before her as a tall fellahin skirts by, casting only a brief, inquisitive glance at the child before continuing on.

Asenath stares back, blue eyes wide with trepidation.
