end of infinity

Mama was gone, trying to find something called a shaman. She said the shaman would teach her how to also be a shaman. Why did she have to be a shaman? What even was a shaman? Mama had been vague about it, saying she would explain when she got home. It was okay, that meant there was more time to do whatever she wanted. Da wasn't around as much, he was always out and about doing things. Lately he'd been even more busy, leaving her and her sisters with their older siblings. Sathanus was grumpy lately, and snapped a lot. Which was a little scary, but she also knew that Sath wasn't going to hurt her. Mammon and Levi kept wandering off to do things, and Bee... Beeper. He was never home. Sath had said that he didn't like her or her sisters.

It was really windy here, so much that she couldn't go down into the cool valley. Which sucked. There were some colourful things waving around down there. She wanted to know what the cool things were. The snow had been falling a lot less lately, and up here it was even beginning to thin. What was going to happen when it was gone? Would there be something beneath the snow? Rocks? Ice? The child did not like the thought of such a change. Slouched near the lip of the crater, she folded her ears back against the howl of the wind. A quick break, and she would keep exploring.
