Storyline #15 Begins

So:

It's all snakes all the time in this next storyline. And that means most of the dialogue will be translated from the Cobraic--hence the angle brackets. Sometimes, though, I'll leave words and phrases in the original like "fethansath" and "ksaksik" in the above--"fethansath" means "north wind child," I hope you'll recall from previous stories, while "ksaksik" is a fairly impolite word used for non-serpents.

Also, I'd like to comment on the word I've translated as "breathless" in Doseh's last line there. It literally means "someone who doesn't use air" and refers to those who don't believe in the Seven Winds of the serpents' main religion...

	Hello. I know you don't get much much attention, or it seems that you don't, but I wanted to tell you that I love your stories, and I've been reading them ever since you started the grind. I started out reading many of the grinders, but you and Ive are the only ones I still read every day. Keep up the good work. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Thank you! I'm glad you're liking them, and, well, since I having more fun doing 'em than I thought I was gonna, I'm likely to keep at it. At least till I run outta stories... :) Mike (Reply to this)(Parent)
