caimans, komodos, and cobras, oh my!

Faint voices made themselves known. One eye cracked open, but everything was fuzzy. Was that Da? He looked mad. Oh no, he was mad at her! My bum hurts. She thought to herself. Actually, everything hurt. Her legs were achy and tired, and her head was throbbing in time with her heartbeat. However, it was mostly her rump that hurt the worst. That monster lizard must have gotten a few good licks in. When she got home, she was gonna get Sath to teach her about fighting. No big lizards were going to bite her butt again!

A familiar scent flooded her nostrils. Mama! A happy sound crawled its way up her throat, but didn't quite make it out. Her Da was very upset, and he kept growling. Was he growling at her? She hadn't meant to scare anyone! It was just supposed to be an adventure, all on her own, because she was grown up enough. She could hear her mama talking, her voice was so nice. "Mr. Morningstar, you must focus. Divo needs to see a healer, not a warrior. Can you lift her? I will find somewhere for us to rest, and get help."

Why did she need a healer? Maybe she'd been bitten worse than she thought. It took quite a bit of energy to lift her head, but she managed it. Brows pinched together, she looked up at mama. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She said, voice small. Divo hadn't meant to scare them so bad. "Am I gonna die?" Soft lyrics questioned, trying to get a look at her Da. Mama looked pretty worried.
