an adventure of just you and me

Watching her children grow gave Zee such fondness and joy and as each tiny body shuffled out of their round potato phase and into something unique, her pride swelled. Some of her children were born to be warriors - like their father and many of their aunts and uncles, too - while others leaned toward the craft of healing. Few so far out of her whopping sixteen kids had developed the interest and the talent for exploration like she had, and when the beginnings of that interest started to bloom... well, Zee jumped on it.

She plucked Charlie out of his group of siblings early in the day, requesting his presence on a secret adventure just the two of them. Her plan was to take him to the neighbouring mist-shrouded isle, a place she had always been fond of and that to even find made one feel a grand explorer. Seeing something through a puppies eyes for a parent might as well be seeing it again for the first time themself, and Zee was eager to watch the boy's eyes light up as the path in the mist opened and the two walked the long strip of bridge.

As the two neared, she reminded him of the rules. "You have to stay close while you're on the bridge, ahead of me and not behind, so I can see you clearly. And once we are on the island too, because the fog can hang low in places and I don't want to lose you in there." Up ahead the strip of sands that led to the island were slowly rising out from the mists, Zee's timing perfect to ensure they arrived in time to watch the the strange island's revealing. "You see that? That's where we're headed."
