Naaghai Lowlands recollection through monologue

read only for the time being

the nebet still had quite a lot to learn.

she'd taken the role of observer in the court of Akashingo, mostly to learn. she felt far too young to speak yet. but the adolescent dreamt of the day she would be able to speak.

The Queen's offering lingered on her mind- the chance to reclaim her home, the one she'd escaped from, was seductive. but it was long since the days where she'd had to look up to meet the gaze of the adults. for some, she needed to look down now to meet their eyes. the grass that would once envelope her now can barely reach half of her arm. 

the girl, clumsy in her new body, has grown beyond the Lake.
