LOOK INTO YOUR HEART AND YOU'LL FIND LOVE After the not so warm welcome she’d received from the Rift, she’d done her best to hide the Crocodile God’s scale in her mane.  She had it tucked up underneath her crown, and with Prudence’s help they’d hidden most of the glowing by weaving her still short, youthful mane over the scale.  She was glad that she did. Kaos’ call was one that she found she was unable to refuse, compelled to move by something far beyond her power. Clementine knew right away that this place had some sort of innate magic, but this?  This was beyond her capacity to understand. Instead she simply let her feet take her. Of course the flower-child saw Kaos.  Every word echoed in the sunshine girl’s mind, ringing in her ears and settling into the depths of her mind.  She shuddered in his presence, feeling smaller than ever.  But the creature only captured half of her attention.  Because even in this moment the girl was searching, desperately, for the pieces of her family.  She searched the faces and forms of those gathered for the familiar shape of her mother, or for any of the others that once called the throat home.  And for her brave honey-bee sister who she knew had made it safely here, but hoped was outside of the reach of this creature - for her own sake. The combination of both fear and disappointment was enough to render the girl paralyzed.  Prudence, even feeling as poorly as she did, still managed to let out a small peep of reassurance as the flower child’s slightly curled ears tipped back.   C L E M E N T I N E
