Death of a Guardian

Feel free to read them in whichever way is easiest or makes sense to you. I wanted to use new and borrowed terms from cultures I am fascinated by that could be altered in the reader’s mind to flow easily in English by either dropping a letter. For some terms, I shorten them in my writing to make them easier for this purpose. I will also include the full term and pronunciation because I find it fascinating.
