”And those like my uncle don’t.” Tresit said softly. ”Even more of a reason it was good that I took his life from him…”
”…If uncle is gone, does that mean we can live in father’s house again? Will father come back home? Or, uncle Ralka?” Lanam asked hopefully.
”…I wish it did mean that, Lanam, but… that’s…” Anara couldn’t say anymore.
”It doesn’t work that way, little sister. Maybe it should, but it doesn’t.” Tresit told her, saying what their mother didn’t want to.
”But it did happen in the story. The one you told us, about the family and the lost ketlit? Remember, they came back?” She insisted. ”You said so.” She told her mom.
”I did, but…” Anara again didn’t have the words.
”Tell us the story next, momma, please?” Lanam asked hopefully.
Anara sighed. ”I can do that.” She told her softly.
”I like the story.” Lanam said. ”Don’t you like it, Tresit?” She asked her brother.
”…It’s a good story, of course I like it too.” Tresit told her kindly, doing something that made her giggle a little. Kes couldn’t tell what because her eyes were still closed, and she didn’t want to open them and risk disrupting the storytelling with their concern for her.
”Tell the story, mother, please?” Lanam asked.
”All right, I will.” Anara replied gently, and she began. ”Once, when Kaze was green and bountiful and still blessed by it’s creators, and all our people lived there and were not scattered among the stars… On a hill, near the edge of the forests of unknown lands, a family lived in a meager house – a father, a mother, a son, a daughter. One day, when the children were… actually about the ages the two of you both are now, they went off exploring in the woods and they found a small ketlit, hurt and alone. They wanted to help him, but didn’t know how, so the brother took the ketlit up in his arms and they brought it back to their parents.
”The family had little, but what they had, they shared, and they nursed the lost ketlit back to health, day by day. They shared their home, and treated the ketlit as though he were of their family as well. In the fullness of time, this newest member of their family grew strong once again, and all seemed well… That is, until one dark day, when the earth shook, the sky poured torrents of water, and a mighty wind threatened to blow their house down.

Double posts to wake up to – 4th July here in the UK, why does that date seem to be significant? :)
Look forward to more of this story.
Oh, you know, that’s the day when Americans celebrate that, at a certain point in history, a war was fought with the British for the right to be humorous instead of humourous… there’s fireworks and evveerrything ^_^;
