Chapter 13 TALULLAH
A woman with deep olive skin and full lips met Talullah outside Preceptor Hakaru’s office. She was barely taller than Lynx and wore her dark brown hair cropped close to her head. A tiny sapphire glinted from the side of her nose.
“Welcome, Talullah. I’m Suha Mahsa, one of the Associate Instructors here. Shall I show you to your room?”
“That would be wonderful, thank you.”
As they walked, Suha pointed out various parts of the island and the school.
“This flower shop was here even before the school opened. Still owned by the same family. Well, the man. I believe his wife took ill a few years ago and passed on. And that bakery serves the most exquisite pastries.”
Talullah half-listened. She tried her best; she really did. But her thoughts kept straying to her family.
