SERAIAH
If Seraiah Vedure didn’t get some time away from the loving but
smothering embrace of her family soon, she might very well lose her
mind.
She loved the whole big, messy, loud lot of them with all her heart. She
really did. But they were driving her mad with their talk of settling down.
Lately, the conversation at every evening meal was the elders reminiscing
about how, by her age, they were all married and popping out babies to
snuggle and spoil, all while giving her pointed stares.

She snorted. Last time she checked, marriage required at least one other
person for it to count legally. As for babies? Maybe some day. But not right
now.
Picking up speed, she ran through Cywillada’s massive metal gates,
waving hello to the guards posted there.
“Seraiah, your mother’s looking for you,” one of them called as she
blew past them.
“Thanks,” she said over her shoulder, slapping a hand over her bare
wrist. Oops, she thought. She’d been in such a hurry to get out of the house
before anyone else woke up, she forgot the booster for her comm on the
bedside table.
Hells bells. No doubt tonight’s communal meal would include a hefty
helping of guilt plus a side of rebuke about the dangers of leaving the safety
of the city walls, topped off with a lesson on how the booster supplemented
the comm signal so she’d never be out of touch ever. Goddess forbid.
Her parents, aunties, and uncles seemed to forget that the Kalln
Territory was no longer a dangerous place ruled by a greedy despot who
cared for nothing except himself and the credits he squeezed out of the
citizens. Yemebada was gone, overthrown by Tanl’n Maher, their current
leader. Because of Tanl’n and his crew of former mercenaries, the city of
Cywillana and its oasis had never been safer. Guards patrolled regularly.
For the first time in years, she didn’t need a bodyguard to leave the walled
city. She was free to check on her beloved trees any time she wanted
without fear or repercussion.
Besides, she was a grown-assed adult, perfectly capable of living her
own life and making her own decisions, including who, if, and when she
would marry.
At the moment, she had no desire to settle down. In her experience,
most men turned out to be more trouble than they were worth. Some day,
she hoped someone would prove her wrong. But for now, that was her
opinion, and she was sticking to it.
“And maybe I like being on my own. Did they ever think of that?” she
asked the wind as her feet pounded over the compacted soil around the
town’s high outer walls. She grimaced at the memory of last night’s date,
arranged by her determined mother, who badgered her until she finally
cracked and agreed to go.
