Today I am posting a character tasting from my books Suleskerry.
Ho. I am Ciaron Ap
Ulnais and I am a selkie. Daniel did not believe at first but we
were friends anyway, even though humans are strange and have lots of
customs and things that I do not understand. Hmm.
{five minutes go by,
then I have to remind him to carry on talking.}
Kach kesh, all right,
all right. Apologies, I was; where was I? Oh aye I was telling you
all about me. Heh heh I can not believe that you are not hearing of
me before, but then I am supposing that our battles and adventures
were hushed up, as Daniel says, by your ruling humans. Oh that is
pretty can I have it?
{He is talking about my
silver bracelet.}
Nuh? Ah well selkies
love silver it shines like the moon, on our seas. Our Mother is in
the sea, the Goddess, our Goddess. Can I go now, Daniel and Guther
are going fishing.
{He sighs when I shake
my head and fidgets with his rings for a second or two.}
I will tell you I am a
very handsome selkie, Daniel thought I looked like a female but that
was before he met other selkies. I love many, am a nomad by birth
and was once called the dark destroyer, ha yes humans I was supposed
to... tach...I am not giving away any plot, whatever that is.
Goddess humans are strange.
I will leave you with
an ancient selkie saying because selkie sayings are the best.
“Selkie hearts are
loyal,
and big enough to
hold many loves.”
Ciaron Ap Ulnais
