Episode Six: "Monsters"

  Well, folks, once again we have some more scenes that might be really upsetting to people and that some may want to skip entirely. As before, they have been marked on the CW list with * and will have non-triggering summaries at the end for those who want to skip them but still know what goes on in the scene! There will be additional warnings/reminders of the summaries at the beginnings of those scenes, for your safety! But first:

  Qatra Salacia - KAH-trah (really sharp on the first syllable) sah-LAH-see-ah

  Qatya - KAH-tee-ah

  Qalliya - KAH-lee-ah

  Luista - loo-IHS-tah

  Iba du Dahg - EE-bah dooh DAHG

  Aleketur Furidra - AH-leh-KEH-tur (tur like turn); foo-REE-druh (druh like drug)

  Aobura’dahga - ah-oh-BOO-rah-DAH-guh but it’s another one of those where the first two syllables get mashed sometimes so it becomes like ow-BOO-rah-DAH-guh

  Aleaza - AH-leh-AH-zuh

  Note: pretty much any time someone speaks Xo (indicated in italics) it is written out as phonetically as possible in the story because Xo is so formless and mushy that none of the “words” have exact spellings, which is why I don’t always put the Xo words in the pronunciation guides. They’re, for the most part, pronounced like they’re written.

  Nashtal - nawsh-TAHL (nawsh like squash)

  Rux (can’t remember if I already added in his name previously) - RUKS

  - imagery of bruises and blood

  - mention of nudity

  Scene 2: The Beast Wakes
