Kitten's Story
Disclaimer (i hate these)- all people and places mentioned in this document are tamora pierce's; not mine(no matter how much i wish they were) except for Pou
Note- This is set during the battle at Pirate Swoop, in Wild Magic, in a cave near the ocean.
Skysong looked up from the pool of waater she was staring in. So this is what the sky looks like. Mommy told me about it when I was inside that place, but I never thought it would look like this. Wow.
Skysong, hello.Skysong looked up into the eyes of another creature who looked like herself; long tail, scaly skin, and claws. Why is she that strange color?
Skysong, sweetie, I need to go. A friend of mine needs my help. I will return. Stay here and don't move.
Ok, mom.
Skysong's mother looked at her and did what she thought was a smile (you never could tell on dragons); then she turned and flew out of the hole she was in.
Skysong looked back at the pool of water she had been looking in. Deep brown eyes looked back at her. She swished her reptilian tail. The tail in the water swished too. Cool. She blinked. It blinked too. Why do we do things at the same time? Her skin was a deep green like the one in the water. And why was her mom a different color? It was a mixture of orange and green. Oh well.
She looked around. There was a hole a couple of feet away. What would happen if she climbed in? What would be inside? She shouldn't climb in, Mom had told her not to move, but she could look inside.
She toddled over the couple of feet to the hole. Leaning over she saw darkness, but she heard something. Hello. Nothing. Anybody there? Still nothing. Maybe she should climb in. It couldn't hurt and she should be able to climb back out, there were a lot of rocks to hold onto. Besides whatever was in there might be able to help her get out.
A few minutes later she found herself in the dark, but for some reason she wasn't afraid. Why? Hadn't her mom told her that dangerous things lurked in the dark? She wandered around for hours trying to find what she had heard, but she couldn't find anything. Occasionally she would jump because of a sound, but it always turned out to water dripping or her own footsteps. Calm down, she would tell herself, nothing's going to hurt you.
Finally she started to get tired. Maybe she should head back. She turned around and started walking forward. Left, right, straight, right, right, left, straight, she counted off her turns. Was she sure she was going the right way? After a couple of rights, when she thoght she should be at the end, she looked around. This looked like where she had come in, but where was the light? Where was the opening? Wasn't this the place? Where had she turned wrong? Left, right, straight, right, right, left, straight; she hadn't done anything wrong, so why was she back here?
Scared she started to wander around, hoping she would find the way she had come in. Again she ended up right back where she started. Why isn't this the place?! She heard a rustle in the behind her. Startled, she turned around. A huge creature was in front of her.
Hello Skysong, the creature said.
How do you know my name? What are you?, she asked.
I know everything; I've been watching you.
How? Why?
I am Pou , a basilisk. I've taken a liking to you ever since I heard your mom land here. I knew she was pregnant, and I wanted to know why she landed here and not in the Divine Realms.
Can you help me get out?
Unfortunately, no. The opening is closed. Sleep, young dragon. I will try to communicate with your mother when she comes back.
Skysong nodded, and curled up on the ground. Maybe she would get out, but if she didn't she wouldn't mind staying with Pou. Suddenly she was asleep.
