AvC: The Ceremony

A strong breeze passed by.

"Chu Chu?" -What kind of monologue are you saying?

The little child in the woman's arm titled its head. Her big blue eyes sparkled with curiosity.

[Don't worry young one. If you are deserving, then you will be accepted into our society. Even you are an orphan.]

After the woman said this, she took out her outer robe to wrap Liam.

Liam felt the soft and silk robe. It was so comfortable against her skin.

The woman hummed a song as she walked, luring her to sleep. A few moments later, the little child in her arm fell in deep sleep.

*********

Liam felt her body shaking. She slowly opened her eyes to see young a little face in front of her. Its big blue eyes sparkled in delight as it met her confused ones.

"Chu!" - You're awake!

Liam blinked her eyes. She remembered this child. It was her neighbor.

"Chu?' -What happened?

"Chu!" - I don't know!

The young one said cheerfully.
