When Families Fight
I don't know of anyone who doesn't from time to time, find a reason to disagree with someone else. I certainly don't know any families who can claim that they've never had at least a small tiff with another family member. It's human nature and can be connected with something as small as a poor night's sleep or missing a meal. Our emotional states are fragile at best and can be upset by very small things. But what if the family quarrel is intentional. Something to use as a teaching tool. And what if this learning moment involves knives? Such is the case between Linsora and her ten year old son, Tozar. It's a ritual that must be carried out. Find out more about the rituals of Khizara at tokorel.com or by reading the Tokorel series of books.
Book Excerpt
The Eyes of Tokorel: The Scope of Emotion
Sunrise was hazy. The horizon was a brilliant red. The night birds and day birds passed each other on their way to and from nests and hunting areas. On cloudy mornings, the night birds seem to linger longer. The clammy feel of the air meant rain later in the day. Three people on the beach stretched and rubbed their arms to stay warm.
Linsora and Tozar were dressed in brown pants with close fitting jackets. Permac wore a blue robe.
“Tozar, are you prepared?” Linsora called.
“I am,” he answered.
“I don’t think you are,” Linsora hissed. “You are far too Tokorellan to ever live up to your Khizaran heritage. You think you can fight? Ha!”
