Ouroboros Spine my father bleeds history

Sphinx, he confirmed, pulling the rest of the Endore family out of Ptarmigan's memory. Sphinx had been the first Endore in the Salvaje region, if her family history was correct, and though she'd paid little attention to what Quail had told her about their family, she did remember names. Sphinx had had two daughters, Sajni and Salene, and two sons, Julis and Renatus. Those were only the trueborn, however. She could remember nothing of an Ostrega, although it had never actually been told to her anyway.

“My mother was Quail Endore, daughter of Nightingale Endore, daughter of Green Endore,” she said, tracing back what she could remember of her grandmother and great grandfather. She had never met either of them, both having died long before her birth. Quail had never met Green, either, but Nightingale had been sure to tell her children the legacy of Winterheart Forest and the Endore family, and so she knew them by name only. Even tales of their accomplishments had faded to time.

“My mother is an Alpha, her mother before her an Alpha, and her mother before her a leader as well,” Ptarmigan said, and though she fell silent here rather than making any grand speeches about how she was a born leader (she wasn't), it was implied in her words alone.
