Dragoncrest Cliffs kòlè

whether or not loko knew it, mireille had faith in his discoveries. she would never admit this, and only tease him instead. she still felt the elder, despite the fact that they had been born at the same time. perhaps it was coraline's absence, perhaps it was the fact she would one day be a woman of sapphique, but whatever it —
her mind moved immediately to the sights that loko had found. 
mireille did not want to go inside, but she wanted less for her brother to know that she was afraid in any way. the girl tossed her vermillion head and entered first, eyes adjusting as heart pounded into her throat.
she moved until the trail began to curve, then looked around for loko, wanting to make sure she was not alone.
