I had moved over to the lake and allowed myself to wash off the guts and blood that covered my pelt. My bloodlust was satiated, and I found my desire to be clean taking over again. I came out of the lake and shook the water off, and by now it is nighttime. The signs of the sun were completely gone over the horizon as I licked my front left paw carefully. When I clean, I ensure I am cleaned properly. As I do so, the stars begin to twinkle above me in the night.
My mother Belhara spoke of my heritage, and of my grandfather Yojimbo. He claimed the stars would talk to him, and tell him things all the time. His homeland had taught him the ways of star talking, and it was a completely normal thing to him. However, it does not seem to be normal anywhere else. Belhara had attempted to teach me the ways of talking to the stars, but I never knew if I was doing it right really.
I let my left paw down onto the ground as I sit on the beach of the lake. I lift my head up and gaze into the stars with my poison green eyes. I take a deep breath as I try to process everything. I find myself calm and relaxed...somehow. I felt a comfort as I looked into the stars. They felt...different. I looked at them intently at they twinkle and I begin to feel that...perhaps I am understanding them right now.
