The Soot Mother - Ch1Chapter 1
Lullaby of the Lost

We are the mothers of soot-

We called it a birth, but the word on everyone’s mind was death.

We sing our mournful song-

We were only children; the seven of us, and at sixteen rotations, I was the oldest.

For we have lost our eggs-

Mohri Ibenmihl turned fifteen today.

And now our future’s gone-

The small, fair-haired girl could hardly walk under the strain of the globe of her stomach, and we six Nethenil did what we could to bear her towards the surface.

Cover your ears as we pass-

Our voices reverberated deep within the depths of the cavern, ringing out in haunting melody.

Instructions:  Delete ALL vowels from the text that is to be translated. Example:

Hey! This is DarlingMionette!

becomes

Hy! THs s DrlngMntt!

Deleting out the vowels from the translation keeps words from getting ridiculously long. Sevinenii translates by converting consonant sounds into full syllables to avoid having several consonants in a continuous line like a direct translation of all letters may create.

When consonants repeat (LL) they are converted to their plural form (LL = denden = dena) shown later in the list after the singular spellings. For instance, Instead of:

Bell (Bll) = Ib-den-den

it becomes

Ib-dena

Oh my gosh! This is so beautiful!
The colors, details, and pose...! I really love how the leaf veins look as if they're popping out, the texture on her boots, and even the flower she's sitting on is so detailed!

Thank you so much, and merry Christmas! ; 7 ;
