Gift-giving

Curvo gives Tyelko a begetting day present.

Prompt from Holiday Party: Gift-giving: From hobbits to Galadriel to Sauron (excuse us, Annatar), there is plenty of gift-giving in the Legendarium. Create a fanwork that features gifts or their givers.

The most difficult thing was to hide it from Tyelko’s sharp eyes. They shared a room, and if he hid it somewhere else, Ammë could find and confiscate it. Finally, he placed the jar in the wardrobe and covered it with a scarf. He needed to feed it for a week, but thankfully it ate worms he dug in the garden.

He was relieved when Tyelko’s begetting day finally arrived. He took the glass jar and opened the lid. His brother took the black snake out, gently brushing the smooth skin.

“Thank you Curvo, I love him already!” Tyelko grinned.
