Her hand reaches for my cheek and she caresses me gently, holding my gaze firmly, communicating with me the only way we ever have. I see it all in her eyes. Her love. She sees what I’m thinking.

I only nod and she does too.

Igor walks out from the passage, his new kingly skins fitting him in all the right ways. The pads of the shoulders make him look godly and his loincloth should be a sin to wear. The belt around his waste is of the Soko tribe. The pads from the Bono and the loincloth from the Modo.

A new crown was made for him and me. I myself am donned with skins and precious jewels. The Sokos have much more refined precious stones as part of their culture and adornments than the other tribes and I couldn’t be happier.

Our children are in their ceremonial skins and beads.

Igor's chest is out and it puffs with pride when he nears us.

That very chest is the reason we are a little late. When he first dressed, I just couldn’t resist him, I had to have him.

His gaze finds me first and he catches me drooling and winks.

I roll my eyes playfully.

He picks up Valeria where she is asleep at the moment. She needs to wake up anyway.

The door opens and Kaja and Faz walk in.

“For the thousandth time, knock when you come in my dwelling.” Igor chastises them.

“We forget, King Imp.” Kaja says.

I shake my head after Igor. They in truth just do it to annoy him. They tease him like he is one of their brothers.

“Are you ready, little wolf?” Faz directs the question to my sister. Just her in a room full of us.

She meets his gaze before he looks at Kaja.

“Yah.” She answers.

That pleases him and Kaja rolls his eyes.

“Well, the rest of you are late.” Faz looks at us.

"Yes, the old one says the spirits grow weary of waiting for you, your kingliness.” Kaja mock bows to Igor who is glaring at him.

I chuckle and I get up with Gordian.

Igor holds Valeria and we go to bless our children and officially introduce them to our tribe.

THE END
