Ouroboros Spine tusaaruuk ⟭

shikoba considers herself a spiritual being as she believes everything light touches has a soul. however, her religion is not spread out nor well-known, but perhaps because there is no true god that she prays to. rather, each being she encounters is one that is due respect, none are truly held above others. 

if she was outspoken, she may have come to argue with kukutux's beliefs. however, her strict sense of respect for the moonwoman causes her lip to button itself. these beliefs can somewhat coincide with what the native already knows.

the tale that is spun from kukutux covers creation, life, heartbreak, death, and rebirth. all of these are topics that shikoba learned in her younger years while beside her mother. while the story may sound a tad different, shikoba still finds the similarities. she feels content, knowing that this story is the first secret shared upon the women's circle.

in a way, it almost empowers her. she may not be head ruler as she once dreamed of in her youth, but instead she shared a sense of respect with the sisters around herself. she is content with her existence, perhaps this is where she is meant to be. perhaps the spirits of her family took part in the blowing winds that pushed shikoba towards the spine in the first place.

a slow blink to kukutux, a small smile on her face. the first of many secrets to be told.
