“No,” she hissed, “he made you a ve. I will not wear his color.”


    Nu-reeh let out a sound Like augh. “To a fine female, Hannah!” she called out loudly.


    The other women around us repeated the salute and then started to wander off.


    Tosu took the bowl back and chuckled. “You’ll be a real terror once your fangse in, girl,” she smiled


    stepping close to Hannah. “You and I should talk,” she said quietly before moving away.


    Nu-reeh called to Hannah and me to follow her. I sat the Little bowl on a low bench and walked quickly


    after the big woman.


    “You may fly out of the mountain now, Hannah,” Nu-reeh told her. “Use your spears to protect yourself.”


    “Can I, Mama?” Hannah asked me excitedly.


    It was easy to see the desire in her eyes. The idea of being outside enthralled her.


    “Of course, Baby,” I said, smiling with confidence I did not feel, “Mistress Nu-reeh has said you can.”

    “Go on ahead,” Nu-reeh told Hannah.


    “Explore a Little, I will take your female breeder back down the incline.”


    Hannah didn’t hesitate and ran out. She bolted toward the incline and jumped off of it. Her wings


    spread wide and I saw her soar through the air before darting out of an opening in the mountain.


    Smiling to myself I thought she probably wanted to go check out her new spikes in the sunshine. As


    well as everything else that was out there. What a wonderful amazing world she would see.

    “She has fur to protect her from the cold, her wings work, and now she has the start of her weapons,”


    Nu-reeh told me. “She has no teeth, so she will need toe to you for nourishment.”


    I understood and it made me want to scream, but I took arge breath instead. “When she wants to go,


    I won’t stop her, Mistress,” I said quietly.


    “I will not Let you keep her as Long as you would Like,” Nu-reeh said.


    “She is of this world and must do as we do. I cannot allow you to cripple her with your human frailties. It


    used to happen and it created weak women.”


    “Of course, Mistress, I also want my daughter to be strong,” I answered her.


    Nu-reeh dropped me at the base of the steep rock wall and I walked slowly toward our apartment. I


    wondered where Hannah had gone, she could literally be anywhere. Until she was hungry, from what


    Nu-reeh said, she may just stay gone.


    Hannah made her entrance beside me boldly before I made it back to our lodging. She’d been flying


    around, but still had trouble sticking thending. She ended up in a tangle of wings and body.


    “I went outside, Mama,” she panted, struggling to her feet.


    “Did you?” I asked very d to see her.


    “What did you see?”


    Hannah happily told me she’d flown around this side of the mountain outside. She’d seen several


    animals Nu-reeh had taught me about. She’d chased a couple. The other women had seen her, but


    they didn’t bother her.
