Selah was awaken early her tent maids dressed her for the soul rising at 5 am. As the double moons set and the triple suns rose her spirit sunk. She was escorted to the river Castor where her mother was on a decorated boat. Faces of all their dead ancestors that were once Banshee were carved into the boat. There were 26 banshee before her she saw her face on the side of the boat it was her fourth great grandma back. They looked like twins. You favor her yes? the healer whispered. Yes what was her name? Izahee. Selah stared at the boat the face of Izahee turned toward her Selah almost fainted the women held her up.

We are here to raise the soul of a great Banshee. She took her position very young she was sixteen as her mother was slain in battle. Uncertain of her path she lived a long illustrious life. A great understanding leader friend sister auntie grandmother...mother and Queen to us all. Latik you are loved we send you to join our ancestors who await you behind the third sun in the shadow of the mountain where no Banshee can step because the heat is severe. Where the grass is lush and flowers are plenteous.

We send you to your peace Great Queen your work is done here. Selah walked to the piers edge white dragon blood incense was burned and encompassed her as she walked to her mothers farewell boat. She was covered in flowers and where her horns once were was covered with a magnolia wreath covering the scars of the missing horns which she now adorned. Selah fixed her mothers long Grey kinky hair. She fixed her necklace staring. She slipped a forbidden Polaroid photo they took once when her mother trained her to heed the call of Banshee.

Selah was ten and begged her mother for the picture. She kissed the photo. No...the priestess stopped her from adding it to the boat hide it she whispered your mother will be shut out of the rising place with anything from the sullen world.

Selah nodded sticking the photo under her sleeve. She bent down kissing her beloved tears dropped on her mothers beautiful melanin skin she knew she would see her mother no more. Her anxiety rose as she knew what was next. Selah clutched her mothers wrist. Selah princess it is time. Selah stood up women behind her holding her up.

The ornate carved boat was released from shore the priestess nodded six flaming arrows hit the boat. Selah watched her mothers boat float toward the mountain.
