Morska'Zelena was almost there! She was almost home, in the swamps. She could almost smell the swamps and feel the insects in the air surrounding her, flying all around her. She was almost back in the presence of the spirits, her siblings, if they were done with their own naming quests, and most important of all, her mother. Mom. Mommy.
The only thing that made Morska'Zelena sad was that, this close to the swamps, to home, she'd not run into Shabnam again. They hadn't been able to visit the waterfalls together, which were so close now. Closer than the swamps and her pride. So close she could just hear the roar of the water falling over the cliffs. Morska'Zelena sighed. The one real regret that she would have to deal with before returning as an adult to her pride.
