chance discovery

Izzy and Eve, the matching-hued brother and sister made a good team. Together, side by side they would search the newly discovered trove of their family's claim, and who knew what secrets and wonders it held? The earth fell away easily beneath their eager paws, exposing roots and pebbles and all sorts of little bit and things he hadn't the words to describe. The whole idea excited the boy, and he gleefully nodded at Nineve's words. Her eyes looked a lot like Mama's, so if they could find a stone that matched... what a fine and wonderful gift that would be!
