Ouroboros Spine My atonement lasts the best part of eternity.

He did not know where Avicus had gone after their crossing of the moonwolves. Their plan had been as successful as one would expect, being half-baked and enacted by children.

Nuak had lost track of how much destruction he had perpetrated across the range of ulaqs. When he had come upon @Kukutux in commandment of her horde of followers, she had been scored across the face. @Avicus' work, no doubt. So there were small successes.

He could not escape after her; the boy was lost among the rabble of Moonglow and brought to heel, segregated to a high point within the territory that he could not easily escape from, then guarded around the clock by body after body.

Why did they not kill him? He wondered as he lurked there, upon the rise. Why did they not strike at him as the interloper that he was? Ursus would have held no apprehensions; but instead he was left to pace and to wait, paranoid that some judgement would arrive for him, and too manic to sleep.
