The Fire Seer And Her Quradum (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Mandir lay in bed beside her, sleeping with a furrowed brow as if having a bad dream. She’d have to wake him in a few minutes. He’d expressed a desire to bathe in the river this morning, and if they wanted to do that without prying eyes, they’d have to do it before the household awoke. She got up and began pulling on her clothes. Mandir, left alone in bed, began to stir. Minutes later, they were wolfing down a quick breakfast together—the same fare as last night’s supper—and heading out to the river. The Taksha was a tributary of the Lioness. On an ancient map in Mohenjo Temple, Taya had seen the Lioness drawn so that the main river formed the back of a rampant lioness and the major tributaries appeared as the lioness’s legs. This impression had stuck with her. Taya now thought of tributaries as the legs of the river. Taya found the Taksha unimpressive and inconvenient compared to the Lioness. She’d seen the tributary up close a couple of days ago when she and Mandir had helped Setsi fetch water.
