Ouroboros Spine shark in shallow water

the duck nodded, chilled. ending. the promise to send the boy to the spirits. kukutux did not know how she might say all the words suddenly in her soul.

she pulled herself at once with unsure steps to the shoreline, streaming from the waters as she sent a solemn look back upon shikoba. "we will go now."

with that, moonwoman set a silent path for she and the warrior, winding far up and upward to the lone cliff whereby she had once looked up to see the brightblood leaves of a single tall tree.

stones and shale; it lay heavy upon the path, but the duck moved upward, determined, and at last kukutux sent a harsh and summoning bark for @Kiliutak.
