Palest Shadow; Darkest Light

Oh, but one must’ve thought my eyes were going sore! They hadn’t stopped being so bugged out and wonder-filled since they fell upon the grandness of the boat that the God of Earth was building; there were just so many people about, so many horses and things happening around them, that it set my imagination and my excitement ablaze!

I settled my wide-eyed stare upon the horses that Father indicated. “Hello,” I said, shy and bubbly all at the same time to every face in turn, “Hello, hello!” Oh, Mother--I can’t say that the idea of living in Father’s kingdom didn’t scare me, even just a little. I loved the Throat, and living in Brother’s shadow, and gamboling about the sand-dunes and the Oasis--but, I confess, it did get a little hot at times…

Father set the bucket down before me, and I stumped toward it, bending my nose down to touch it and investigate before hesitantly knocking it into the stream. Then, my footing precarious and careful, I eased into the shallows and reached down to the now-submerged bucket, trying to draw it upwards. But, oh Mother! It was so heavy--I barely tried to lift it before my poor neck muscles gave out and it crashed back down to into the water.

“...oops,” I said, turning doleful eyes upwards toward Father.
