Ceremony and lore tie everyone to their world. The stories we keep inside ourselves, and those our community tell to us. Whether it's a cave with a dark pool of mysteries or the whole ocean itself, the world waits to greet those ready to come into their own. Chalu recites: "The way of youth is a route laid out by the pattern of my people's land. My body carved--as from rock, as from sand."
