The smile Nayati gave her made her feel more confident in what she was doing, and she watched, and listened. The ceremony seemed simple enough, and she hoped what she had brought would be good enough a sacrifice for the coming fall would give them a good harvest. She watched as Dawali threw in his sacrifice and then Nayati did the same. She wondered if she was suppose to bring something that would burn less but it was too late now. It was her turn to put something in and she came close to the new flames and kissed the lock of horse hair and threw it in the flames, it never got the chance to fall to the ground as the air from the flames kept it afloat and it caught fire in an instant, curling and turning black as it was suspended in the air. Lili marveled at the sight and hoped she wouldn’t be the one to bring in a bad harvest for giving up a lock of hair. It was all she had. All she could offer, maybe next time she’d have something that was more important and less… well obtainable.
Her worries lessened when she remembered Nayati’s confident smile, and she looked over at him. He had been a part of the tribe for a while, hopefully he’d tell her if she had done something wrong. She knew next year she wouldn’t be so timid. She’d rather learn these new things, than be left out of the pack gatherings, celebrations and all that stuff. She didn’t want to be in the middle of it all, but she did enjoy being in with the mix of things. This experience here was so entirely new to her she wasn’t sure exactly what to expect and it did excite her to no end.
