Ouroboros Spine Dust motes on the river bed

Ajei looked wide eyed into the water, now wondering what all kinds of creatures lurked there. She was both fearful and kind of curious. Though she could never say that. She opened her mouth to speak often, but the words just wouldn't come.

She nods. Maybe. But thats okay. We can watch it an be happy until we bigger.

Ajei lifted her head proudly and smiled. My mama isn't big either, but she is good. Does many things. A warrior, but she best at being Chiteo and my mama.

She curled her tiny tail and studied the boy in front of her. What other things you like do?

Eyes fell to the forest floor in shyness.
