Take a moment

As Koby looked over the bones of the decimated mouse, she could see the expressions flitting across his unblinking features. The girl found it quite odd that a snake could be that expressive, but he definitely was. What was he seeing in there? Asla could barely wait to hear what he had to say and, when he finally began to speak, he had her rapt attention.

His first words were rather ominous as he stated that her reading was rare. As he began to delve into the intricacies of her reading, the girl stilled. Her brows drew together as she stared at the snake incredulously. How could he tell that from a pile of bones? She guessed that the conflict he was speaking of was her fight with Azure. There was definitely a rift there. Not only had he said some nasty things to her, but she knew now that she couldn't trust him with her innermost thoughts. A barrier had been erected that could never be torn down.

Next came her present and, if possible, Asla's brow furrowed even more. Again, the snake was correct. She was going through a rough time at present. She didn't know what to do with herself or the tsunami of emotions that were constantly banging around inside her head. The girl didn't have the slightest idea of how to deal with them.

Her future was seen in teeth. Aslatiel didn't know how to feel about what Koby was saying, but so far it seemed right. Not much had been easy so far, so why wouldn't her future be difficult? The formerly bubbly child was now quite solemn, a frown tugging down the corners of her little mouth. What would she do with this information? Was it a comfort to know that she would have the power to sway others or was it some sort of omen saying that she was just a cog in the machine of life? It was too much for her to deal with, especially now.

Koby assured her that, though this was what he was reading, things could change. She had the power to change the future. That was good to know, at least. "I don't know if I'm happy with the reading or upset by it. It's a lot to take in." Did her 'power over others' mean that she would influence Mort and Azure? Would she be the catalyst that brought one or the other to take the throne? It was a lot of responsibility. She was glad that it was in her future rather than her present.

The girl remembered her manners at least. "Thank you, Koby. I...have a lot to think about." Her mind, already a miasma of emotion, was now bombarded by new thoughts. Many 'what-ifs' were flying through her head a mile a minute. She didn't know what to do with herself.
