The day was bright and clear, which was always a good time to expect
treasure from above. My Clan was not the superstitious type, so I kept my
eye eagerly on the sky whenever I could. Waiting. I had a good feeling
about today, like something big was about to happen, something lifechanging. I couldn’t wait for that, eager to see a change in the mundane
drudgery that filled most of my time.
“Are you coming or not?” I asked of the fully grown Ayala male perched on
a nearby rock. Srazz peeled back his lips to bare his long, blunt, and brightorange front teeth at me. The rodent hated water with a fervor and I was
already halfway into the small stream; there was no way he’d come on his
own steam, but leaving him behind wasn’t an option.
I raised the tip of my tail toward him, wagging it temptingly. That made
Srazz drop his snarl, but he raised the spikes along his rump instead. My pet
was a bastard, but at least my scales were too tough for him to do any harm.
Looping the tip around his pudgy belly, I picked him up and slung him over
the shallow water so he could perch on my shoulder.
Once there, he chortled happily, and proving he could be nice, licked my ear
in affection. At least, I was pretty sure he meant that to be affectionate. I
couldn’t be certain, because I was no expert on that kind of thing. As a
proud member of the Water Weaver Clan, I was expected to spend most of
my life out in the wilds on my own. I was only to return to the Clan village
when it was mating season, or when I had scavenged enough food or
precious items together to be of use at home.
Home. That was a word that was almost as foreign to me as affection was,
not that I was complaining. I liked roaming the wilds, and I very much liked
how our status as wanderers made us welcome inside any territory we
wished to go. Well, any territory except for Bitter Storm, and that’s where I
was right now. I needed to keep my wits together if I wanted to make it out
of here with both treasure and my head on my shoulders.
My last drop-off of precious fabrics in exchange for gold jewels had
happened in Thunder Rock, only a couple of miles away. That hadn’t been a
task I relished, but I had to admit that the weight of the gems and gold in
my pouch felt good. I would see lots of happy female faces when I returned
to the village for those. I might even receive a few invitations for nest-play.
Srazz’s blunt teeth bit down firmly on my earlobe and I yelped, “What
now?” His claws dug into my shoulder, edging on pain, which I ignored.
“I’m paying attention!” I warned him, but quickly shot my eyes across the
sky, worried I’d missed something important. Srazz had much better ears
than I did.
