As I'm still working on the book, this pic is just too good. These two are Mikei's imaginary friends/companions Nawi (left) and Hilary (right). Mikei has somewhat of a fascination with other mythologies around the world. This explains the Greek mythology aspect for the creation of Hilary since she's a cyclops, and Nawi being an aziza fairy from Dahomean mythology. This is them at age 10.
