Course the snakes might have took care of some of them, but not all.It hit me they were trying to flank us so I waved to everybody telling them to watch the sides and behind them. Elsa elected herself watcher, keeping eyes behind us as we let them have it one more time. Eion was a pretty canny old man, and he waited. ‘Granddad? What is this?’ I asked, curiously.‘You will see for yourself boy… I promise. But not yet. First... you will have to become a man.

Hair and nails done, bracelet lacing my wrist and earrings to make any outfit scream “fuck me”. It wasn’t until I was completely out of sight that I started watching his every move. I loved everything about him already. The way he walked, the way his hands.
