“There is another way,” Xiala murmured, and waded into the waves. She took a few deep breaths before she sank beneath the water. Here at the shoreline, the sea was calm and welcoming, and she greeted it as a relative. Unlike her earlier attempt at drowning, she only wanted it to speak to her, to ask it what it could see that she could not.She opened her mouth, exhaled, and let the water hit her tongue. She did not swallow, only tasted. Salt and life, heavy in her mouth. And something else.
The wise women clicked, but Xiala didn’t care. She looked at Teanni, who nodded. Mother waters, it was worse than Xiala had imagined, and she had imagined terrible things.“That I cannot tell. Only that they do not cut through the waves like a tidechaser, and that they sit heavy in the water.”“Heavy? Merchant ships?” Alani asked, and a buzz of excitement rippled through the crowd.Advertisement
“I don’t think so,” Xiala said, but the idea had already caught hold, and the women practically vibrated with the possibility.“Light the torches,” Yaala commanded. “We will guide them in.”“Better we wait,” Xiala said, but she was not heard over the rising voices, an air of celebration already kicking in. She leaned in to shout in Yaala’s ear. “Let me Sing the ships back,” she suggested. “Hold them at a distance until we know for sure.”Yaala faced her, took Xiala’s hands in her own. “No, Xiala.
Xiala looked to Teanni, who was leaning into her wife and smiling. Even Alani was grinning. Yaala was right. The Teek needed something good, and perhaps she was overreacting, seeing danger where there was none. But she still couldn’t quite shake a sense of foreboding, and it shivered her shoulders like the first touch of winter.Soon the shadowy forms of the vessels drew near.
