We are taught many things when we are born, how to eat, how to walk, overall, we are taught to survive.

Sectii, tiny, stares up at Mother. Her face a swirl of dark ink and pale flesh. She's reciting him his lessons.

Sectii thinks she was a kind woman, as much as any woman can be in such circumstances, perhaps a bit mad but Old god worship will do that to most.

"Sectii" she'd say, "We do not bend to the light, we are to keep our faces shadowed and our minds void enlightened" — and he'd bob his head along, fragile hand cradling the hammer-shaped necklace; much too long a chain for such a runt of a boy; on his chest — and then she'd smile, a glimmer of teeth, and caress his not yet marred face before being again on his teachings.
