Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen

Kia takes me into the jungle while I stuff down my irrational feelings. I head to Estra. It’s a little wooden town with a library in a clear building. They serve food and drinks there while patrons can read inside and bake in the sun, or rest on the beach to read. It’s also where all deaths are reported and cataloged. Of course, you have to be a Guardian to access this record.

When I enter the building, I order a starroot drink. The waitress gives me a smirk and a wink and walks away. I roll my eyes as I feel several eyes turning toward me. Why yes, I had sex everyone. Tis the season. Even though sex is encouraged this time of year, it’s still treated with schoolish giggles.
