The road illuminated by countless beaming creatures filled with the brightness of stars. He led her up the swirling path into a cave-like hollow, high above the city. It was much darker here and and she wondered what she could possibly have to do there. 'Welcome home my girl' his softness murmured inside her. 'What is this place Master?' 'It is the Home you shall dwell in'. She thought that he must be joking because the opening was immersed in complete darkness. None of the luminescent beings were here to light the way. 'You do not like it?' he looked intensely into her asking the question a second time that day. She had a feeling there would not be a third time and she answered quickly, more on edge now, gulping down her frustration, 'Yes, I want it'. 'Good' he raised an eyebrow. 'I have business in town and will be gone for some time', he left her no pause to protest . 'When I return, you will be ready. Make due, best you can, with what you have here'. He turned around and was gone before she could say a word.
Her rage welled up in her breast. To bring her all the way down here to the city of the stars and leave her in a dark hole? She swore she would never forgive him and certainly not make it easy for him to ever see her again. If it had been any other place he would have never seen her again. She was a determined and stubborn girl, after all. She had to be, to have survived this long. Yet here she knew nothing. Simple things like feeding herself were now unimaginable wonders, hard to conceive. "Uuuugggghhhhhrrrrr", a roar welled up and escaped her lips causing the water to ripple around her.
