I thought I'd put this up a long time ago, which is why I kept referring to it in Hilley Ascending (what can I say - I'm old - I drink - I forget things). It foreshadows who Hilley becomes. She is eight years old here, and traveling with her parents in Europe. The story itself is much shorter than usual. But you will meet a number of the characters who appear later in Hilley's life. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did writing it.

A Story in the Laresa World Universe
(Follow-up to "Deified", completing Nathifa's tale) Laresa and Nathifa are living a quiet, simple life among their newly adopted people, but Laresa is troubled. Recent events have eroded her ability to brush off that she is Djinn, and thus a slave. Being so close to Nathifa, only recently freed from the bonds of the Djinn herself, is a source of turmoil for Laresa as well. The village also faces danger as "Those who live outside the light" stalk the peaceful community.
