The next day Nammi told Sashegh that Neolin had left with Vavana and she and Sashegh could live together while he was gone. Sashegh was happy to be alone with Nammi, sharing a tent with her for the first time. It was a wonderful time for her, spending her nights and days with Nammi, doing chores, preparing meals together, making love every night and often during the days as well. It seemed to her the more they made love, the more she wanted Nammi. It was almost an addiction.
Sashegh was dreading the day when Fewallo would return to the village with Nanong and tell her it was time to go back to Maginaugh. She asked Nammi, "Do you think Neolin would be willing to live on Maginaugh so we could be together sometimes?"
"Honestly, no, I know he would not agree to that."
"Then it seems hopeless for us. I promised my mother and brother I would return. I won't ask you to leave Neolin for me. I know you love him too. I will come back here for visits as often as I can."
Nammi nodded. "Love hurts sometimes, Sashegh."
Sashegh wondered if everyone in the Pewa village could plainly see how deeply in love she and Nammi were. She supposed it was the kind of love that makes others feel good just to see it. Some of the happiness she felt infected anyone who came near her. She thought, "Even Bequa understands what I have with Nammi is special and unique, far more than she could ever hope to have with Nammi. She leaves us in peace now, not being unfriendly, but not coming between us either."
To Sashegh, these weeks alone with Nammi seemed like heaven. The Magin word for what she felt, the word that was in her mind now, was fealytin, the time when two become one. Sashegh wondered if it would be possible for Nammi and her to be life partners. She told Nammi of this desire and Nammi told her she wanted the same thing. They both realized it would be very difficult or impossible because of their situations with the men in their lives. But in Sashegh's heart, they were one. The love she felt for Nammi was stronger than any she had ever known.
During their second week alone, Nammi asked Sashegh, "Will you come with me to one of my favorite places? It's called Kitchitikipi. It's a magic place, you will see."
"That means big spring, does it not? It sounds nice. When do we go?"
"Now my love, if you are ready."
They took one of the small canoes and paddled over to the peninsula. From there they walked down a path through the forest, holding hands and stopping often to kiss. It took them about two hours to reach Kitchitikipi. At the end of the path Sashegh saw a small body of water that looked like a tiny lake but had no inlet, only a small stream that flowed away from it. The water was an emerald color and crystal clear.
A small raft was lying on the bank and Nammi had Sashegh help her get it into the water.
They used their hands to paddle the raft out to the middle of the spring. Sashegh noticed the water was not cold like the big lakes; it was quite warm. When they reached the center, Nammi asked Sashegh to look down into the water. The spring was about 70 feet deep and the water was amazingly clear. They could see all the way to the bottom. The surface was still and calm with no waves or ripples. There were fantastic looking moss covered stones and trees and giant fish swimming about deep below them. It was an underwater fairyland and all the most beautiful emerald green.
Nammi said, "I want to go for a swim."
