Today's drabble is about “This one,” she says, “your god-like son; my heart has caught on his prowess. I ask this boon from you, that you let me marry him.”
When she had seen only ten summers swim past, Hidimbi had watched her brother challenge their uncle and win. She saw it for months, whenever she closed her eyes: the devastated forest, her uncle’s ribcage struggling to expand, Hidimba’s hand purple with lifeblood. She’s seeing it now again, as though enacted by some master of the trade, every dodge, every blow impossibly perfect, her brother struggling against a mortal.
Oh, the sons he’ll sire!
