Two Moons of Sera
“Desperation and an infectious hope dripped from the boy’s voice.
Cool moisture embraced my palms. I stood face to face with the young Sualwet boy, alone at last and able to acknowledge the connection between us. He was tall and slim, built like a typical Sualwet teen. Webbing showed between his splayed fingers as he hovered before me.
