Gulzar caught the little goddess by the arm, saving her for what felt like the hundredth time since they had started off on their trek. The sun was still low in the sky, but they had already made many stops. She seemed to be completely oblivious to all of the dangers hidden within the woods around her, and he was certain he had already lost solars off of his life just trying to make sure she didn’t get herself killed. Like Ky had the day she went out on the hunt with him, the little female made enough noise to alert anything within earshot that they were there.

“Sare, sare. Aye doont meen taoo bee ah bhurdin,” she told him, brushing her hair away from her face.

He wished that he had been blessed by the goddess so that he could communicate and understand her, but that was a privilege he would never be allowed. Gulzar ran a clawed finger over her chin before scooping her up into his arms.

“We will travel much faster this way.”

The female kept her eyes affixed to his face like she was mapping all of his features. It made him uncomfortable. No one but her had ever paid him so much attention in his entire life. With her safely clutched against his chest, Gulzar moved quickly over the uneven ground, dodging large rocks and fallen trees, avoiding problem areas where predators liked to converge. He glanced down at her to find her still watching him, but now her brows were drawn together in what seemed to be concentration. Perhaps there was something wrong with his face. Shifting her weight, he freed one hand, pressing it against his chest.

“I am called Gulzar.” He indicated himself. “Gul-zar.”

“Nkoul-zar,” she tried, failing to produce the guttural sound at the beginning of his name just as she had all those solars before.

“Guul-zar,” he repeated, drawing out the syllables as clearly as he could.

“Knoul-zar.” A rumbling laugh vibrated through his chest. He continued on, watching as a female feondour and her young scurried out of his path. The long barbs that covered her back ran along the ground behind her as she led the younglings into the thick undergrowth and out of sight.

“Zar?”

The sound of the old name caused him to stumble. He had been sure she had forgotten about it, but he saw the recognition light her face.

“Yes, little goddess.”

“Yew… yew arr Zar.” Her mouth dropped open as she stared at him. “Holi fhuk.”

He wasn’t sure what “holi fhuk” meant, but he caught his name and nodded. “Yes. I am Zar and you are my little goddess.”

Tears welled up in her eyes as her hands framed his face before she threw her arms around him. His entire life he had wished for this, to be able to actually hold her outside of a dream.

“Ahmaenduh.” She pulled back and moved her hand to a spot just above her breasts.

“Ahmaenduh,” Gulzar grinned with pride at his pronunciation, but her brows drew down and she shook her head, repeating herself.
