Ouroboros Spine aeons exist in a myriad cast

For @Kyrillos anddd *punches the tag to work pre-emptively because sometimes it's hateful anyway*. All welcome for any OS wolf.

At the near center interior of the Spine lied the lake, its broad and deceptive depths a testament to the age of the land itself. Mordecai did not know how it formed, or how the basin-like realm didn't fill up like a bowl. Maybe it seemed a little marshy along the banks, but he attributed that to the predawn rain that had come in the night. Thunder rumbled low as he worked his way through the brush, but the rain remained light and steady. Any hope he had of tracking game were now washed away like the days old dirt that had clung to his summery coat.

A low fog lingered the closer he ventured towards the timberline, just as it covered the topside of the lake. It left an eerie feeling about the place, but that feeling was lost entirely on Mordecai. He did not fear the unknown void around him; this day was just one of several that had come about with the change of the seasons. The trees had yet to adopt their full autumn coats, but he knew it was coming. He had felt the chill, had seen the game stirring and migrating, and had set to once more weighting the options for the Spine.
