is your mum scary?

“Oh, this is beautiful!” Gem exclaims as they cross over from the estuary into the ravine’s shaded pathway. There was something about the way the light cascaded through the dense canopy that amazed her. Allowing just enough light for the sprouting shoots to pop up through the leaf litter that muffled their steps. Her chin tilts upward to take a peek at the treehouses that come into view. Winding pathways and rope bridges spiral around trees and criss-cross through the air to connect them all together. This must have taken a lifetime!

“Why the treehouses?” She asks, her heterochromatic gaze turning over to Kenway, head tilting to see what he would say. When she had lived here as Ashen, they had denned within the Redwater Rocks not far off where they would keep cool during the summer months, but this was spectacular! Gem couldn’t help but let out a little gasp of amazement as she continues to follow him.
