      (continued fromThe Twins)

      Selena woke up and looked at Wilamos and Tauros with wide, yellow eyes. In the bright light of the moon, they almost seemed to shine. “H-Hello,” she stammered. “I’m…”
      “Selena. We’ve been introduced.” Wilamos related the events of the evening.
      “Oh, I’m so sorry,” she said, looking at the half-cleaned rabbitlizard. “She should have known better than to start that so close to nightfall.” Selena plucked the knife out of Helena’s limp hands and finished cleaning it. “Let’s get a fire started—I’ll make you dinner. It’s the least I can do after you had to put up with my sister.”
      Tauros repeated his fire-starting trick and Selena grilled the rabbitlizard on a spit above it. Wilamos thought it was pretty good, but found it a little dry without any goat cheese or goatsmilk to go with it.
      Tauros, as before, ate nothing. Instead, he dug a small hole in the dirt and placed his hand in it, up to the wrist. “Look,” he said, pointing down to the stream with his other hand. The softly-lit stream was slowly sliding uphill.
      Selena and Wilamos walked down to the bank. Underneath the water’s surface, hundreds of glowing blue crabs were crawling up the stream.
      “That’s a shame,” Selena said.
      “What? Why?” Wilamos asked.
      “Glowcrabs. They don’t taste good.”
      “How do they taste?”
      “Blue,” she said, sticking out her tongue.
      Wilamos reached underwater and pulled out a crab to take a closer look. Aside from the glowing veins tracing its skeleton (sort of; crabs are invertebrates), it was almost translucent. He dropped it back in the river to let it continue its slow walk upstream.

          Ugh, blue taste! ^_ __^ Jellyfish crabs? Were they causing the stream to flow uphill?

          So far Selena seems nice. Looking forward to more! ^_ __^

            Poor Wilamos--how will he ever survive without Chapelle?
