Tamora
“I understand”, Tamora answered the shaman. She stared into the embers of the lizardwoman’s fire, full of confusion. She knew that had the situation been reversed and she was at home she would in all likelihood have been part of the patrols that would have hunted the intruders and possibly killed them. But her position now gave her a different perspective. Her fellow off-worlders hadn’t chosen where they arrived and didn’t necessarily mean harm to the jungle-dwellers. She could hardly support killing them on that basis. Indeed, who’s side would she be on in such a conflict? She felt more in common with these people than with those that had hacked the portal clearing out of the forest but to fight them? She looked over to Anne. Not all outsiders were bad people . . .
Tamora continued staring into the glowing coals, unsure of what to say, unaware of how much of her thoughts will have been accessible to the shaman or her companions.
