The drums sound at first light but you are already awake. Today is the day you will finally meet the Goddess. She\u2019ll either embrace you, ripping you apart and reforming you into a being of magic and flame, as mercurial as the sea, or She\u2019ll withhold her blessing and never again will you walk upon land. You take a breath and hold the humid, tropical air deep in your lungs before releasing it and dressing in your ceremonial leathers. You knot the leather straps around your chest, replicating the geometric patterns favored by your beloved cousin, Sindr. The one who disappeared. | \xa9 2023 by Ozzie M. Gartrell.
