Ouroboros Spine ted

Backdated one day. @Kukutux

Whatever had happened to Moonspear, Sialuk had been on the other side of the mountain when it had happened. Her bones were almost certainly gone, and she had not seen a soul since then. She did not dare to return, worried that something horrible had happened. The sounds that had come from the mountain were not sweet sounds, and she had vivid dreams (when she could manage to sleep that night) that some gods in the sky had struck down her home. She could not bring herself to return, so she did not. She would not.

Her movements were stiff as she finally awoke in the cold light of the morning. She stared at the spear, willing herself to go toward it, but her body would not respond.

Sixsix! she gasped when she spotted the raven flying toward her. One of his wings was singed, and he landed at her feet. Gently, she inspected the wing. It would heal, but he would need to rest.

Why have the spirits done this to our home? she asked him, even though his only answer would be an unintelligible crowing. We can't go back, can we? And the bones... the bones were all gone, too. Her heart hurt.
