Lost
“Based on the waterline on some of the nearby trees, it looked like we'd pulled it far enough up to avoid having it wash away. I hoped that was the case. I hated the thought of having to wade back to civilization through thirty miles of alligator-infested, chest-deep swamp water.
None of the lamias seemed to think it odd that Celeste didn't help move the boat.
Apparently queens weren't expected to get their hands dirty with manual labor any more than they were expected to deal with challengers.
...I'd shifted forms to help move the boat, but once the boat was safely tucked away between two large trees, I wasn't particularly excited about the idea of shifting again. I'd already worn far too many forms over the last forty-eight hours.
I'd resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be dealing with a horrific set of cramps in my arms and legs within the next few hours, but I was hoping to put off dealing with them until we'd made it to the lamias' enclave. Another shift back to human form and then again to hybrid form so that I wasn't walking through the bayou in human form would almost guarantee that I wouldn't make it through the next hour without writhing around on the ground in agony.MoreLess
