Chapter 5

It was warm why did her mother have to die during summer solstice when all three suns were up instead of two or one. Fan she moaned the fan stared with no electricity attached. A spell their old village obia cast before she died and still works. She could even turn on an air conditioner through her fan in fact she would. Air conditioner. The enchanted fan blew out freezing air. Selah looked at the clock it was three am.

Psssssssbt. Selah sat up what in the world. She was dressed for bed. Her horns and hair tied down she saw they gave her sedative powders. She saw a shadow on her tent wall she grabbed her blade walking outside. It was Joel what are you doing here she whispered do you have a death wish? Joel grinned how are you feeling? Selah looked down it is okay you are not alone I am your friend I am here for you.

His eyes spoke truth we cannot be friends Joel Banshees don't have male friends. Now they do his eyes smiled at her. You can get into so much trouble do not come here again. Do you mean that my Queen? No but it must be so Joel.

Says who? The law of this land. You are the reigning queen are you not? I am or I will be. Then change the laws they are old ancient and out of date some of them need updating no? I never thought of it but I guess so Joel I tired these horns and seeing my mom on fire it was a lot Joel.

I understand then you rest up eat he passed her a covered bowl. What is it? Something i made just for you. Smells delicious Joel. Eat it with water enjoy. Selah nodded yes she heard someone coming she looked and looked back to Joel he was gone. Selah hurried to her tent resting the warm bowl of food on her side table. She grabbed a spoon digging in. The food was perfect pork rice bean and fresh kale he even tossed a.sweet peach that only grew on the side the men lived on the planet as that is where the suns shone the hardest.

Selah was so hungry from the fasting then not eating when her mom passed. The horns made her nauseous she thought. Joel took the horn pain and her hunger away. He is fine she whispered to herself. Selah looked around her mother's tent the revenge requests must be backed up by now but she could not access them until her ceremonial install was completed.

Selah inhaled hearing her mother say it will all work out cici patience is a virtue. Selah clutched the pillow that was her mother's smelling her head. She had a full belly, her mind was put at ease, no more searing horn pain, she met her brother, and her mother's soul was accepted to to soul rise realm. Selah could rest now and get a good nights sleep.
