Ouroboros Spine There's something wretched about this

@Zane?

Someone else of the masculine persuasion had climbed the spine after all. Raimo found the trail while tracking the deer paths and followed it to where the snow was compressed by Kukutux' hideaway. It trailed off from there, but the presence of another man gave rise to Raimo's apprehension.

It could have been the husband returned to his women, or someone new. Either option was detrimental in Raimo's mind — and he knew he would have to find this stranger to learn more about them and their intentions.

Off he went, winding across the spine with the mixed hope he would not be set-upon by a possessive, defensive, or wounded beast. He was a hunter, not a warrior; but if need be Raimo would focus his bulk and his physicality in the defense of this mountain he had chosen as his haunt.
