In the heart of the swamp, Asali'jua waited just as she had for her son and for her nephew, hiding desperate longing behind a collected, noble facade. She'd woken today to a tingle of feeling, a vaguely familiar call to readiness - today, a child who was no longer a child was returning home. A girl-child. But who? Would it be one of her own, as she so desperately hoped for? Could it be Nyasi or Johari, despite the fact that weeks before she'd performed their funeral ceremonies after their absence had gone on too long? Could it even be Mluzluzi, Ige, or Abhaya, having found their name quickly? Or was it her niece or nephew?
All she could do was wait, tiny pride assembled behind her - there were more children than adults, now.
