With the colossal worm dead on the ground, the peaceful song of the wind could be heard again. For K’mih, however, a new battle seemed to commence when she raised her eyes to the distant figure of her father, stoic and victorious after the fall of the giant.
It was odd.
It was…
… like seeing him for the first time.
Her eyelids opened wide, only to quickly fall down to the ground. She didn’t quite know what was wrong or why his image was making her so nervous now; it was fear, maybe. Fear for his eyes to look at her in the same way her mother and K’nahli had. K’ile would likely tell him, or he’d find out just by looking at her. Ah, but what was he going to find out? What had she done wrong? Why was she suddenly feeling so guilty?
She gripped the piece of arrow she was holding.
“T-thank you, f-father…â€
Her voice trembled, her gaze still on the ground. The world was spinning around her and there seemed to be no way to make it stop. It wouldn’t stop, she just didn’t know yet.
“I… E-excuse me!â€
Without waiting for any reply, the young Miqo’te started running away, as fast and as far as she could. Whatever was wrong inside her, her father would find out; she didn’t want to be there when that happened.
