Songs of the Sea

“Mother, this is Sartin of the pod Belzer.” Sommar introduced Sartin to his mother first.


“I have heard so much about you,” Juma said as she took Sartin’s outstretched hand.


Wishing he could jump back into the water to cool off and take the attention off himself, Sartin acknowledged her greeting.


“And this is Jarnyo, our leader,” Sommar said.


“We have heard much about you, Sartin. The entire pod is honored that the Princess has paired you and Sommar together.” The rest of the pod shouted their approval.


Pride and embarrassment fought with each other inside Sartin’s stomach as he basked in the greeting from Sommar’s pod. Their acceptance raced through his veins. Sommar’s Song swelled in Sartin’s head, fueled by Sommar’s pride as he introduced Sartin to all the other aunties and cousins in their social order.
