The Lynx


A young troll sits idly on the floor of her respiteblock, staring at an enigmatic book she found in a rather secluded cave – just north of her 'tree-ring'. She had not intended to run off her hive that time of the hour. The hours are currently in the dim season's and a young troll, such as herself, is not recommended to walk around in long periods as the sun goes up faster and grows a lot hotter than the dark seasons.

Grunting in dismay, she forced herself to get distracted and decided to look in the window of her tree hive. Below her is the jungle filled with different types of fauna and flora. Different shades of greenery presented itself on her sight; even the tiniest of the leaves didn't left her eyes. She didn't know why but she guessed it's better to not question the hereditary genes of her ancestor in which she inherited.

The young troll scrunched her nose in disgust as she found her lusus, a lynx, eating the insides of what seems to be a hare. Lynxmom knows when to eat her dinner but sometimes, the lusus just gets excited and forgets that there's time for everything.

"Disgusting. At least can you not do that infront of our house. Eck." Oh, pity on the poor troll who won't be seeing his lusus at dinner later.

She looked up at the horizon, the sun is rising and she knew that it's going to be sleep time soon. Looking back at the book, she was tempted to read it right then and there but tomorrow, the start of the 23rd bilunar perigee of the 3rd dim season, is going to be her 8th wriggling day. She thought that it may be better to set the matter aside, wait for her hatching day, lament for her insufficiencies and read what the book contains.


However….

What will the name of this young troll be?
