“You need to teach me!” Skoll declared in a happy howl as she said she could catch a whole lot of fish. He wanted to learn how to do everything in the whole world, though the boy was realistic enough to know he couldn’t master everything. He was eager to try new thing, though, and maybe he’d be a good fisher if he gave it a try. He frowned and asked as an afterthought, “Do I need hands for it?” It wouldn’t be too long until he made his first transformation, but he wasn’t sure how much he would like the luperci form. His daddy enjoyed being on four legs, and if the creamy-yellow prince turned out the same way then he’d like to know how to do things without the need for his bipedal form.
He squinted as she licked him then wagged his tail thoughtfully. “Maybe go an’ see if they have cool stuff, like horses an’ stuff. Isn’t Cercatori all arty and stuff? I met a girl, Erzulie, she drew on me.” He mangled both proper nouns, but that didn’t keep him from grinning wickedly. He remembered running to his parents with a big veve painted across his body.
I can go the distance.
I will face the world:
fearless, proud and strong.
I will please the gods;
I can go the distance,
till I find my hero's welcome,
right where I belong.
