Very Secret Secrets of Ascension

Huata reared up and licked the yeti on the cheek, promising again to return to help tend his gardens, and lead Shanku out of his cave. The yeti stood at the entrance, waving farewell to them.

"So, what's the secret to it?" Shanku asked as the flew out to where Huata had left the lichen bags.

"Reverse of anger, but like anger, fear is still necessary," Huata said pensively.

"What's the non-riddle and non-cryptic method?" Shanku asked bluntly, ears laid back in irritation.

"It's so obvious to me now! You'll understand when it's your time," Huata chirped happily.

"...So I guess you're not going to tell me then?" Shanku asked grumpily. I had to get smacked over that, after all!

"It truly is something to be learned alone," Huata said apologetically. She landed on the rock where she had left the bags. With a sigh, Shanku followed, gathered them both up, and off they went again to return to the village.

Very Secret Secrets of Ascension

Maybe not always fear. Respect. Definitely respect. Not that obvious. I didn't know the secret until the past few pages!

So I got my car tags today. Not as much of a pain in the @#$! as it usually is, but the teller did make a snide remark about my license not having my current address. If the state doesn't like that, they can pay for it to be replaced. I was forced to buy two licenses last year because the SOBs don't consider a social security card a valid form of ID for your legal name, no way am I paying for a third.
