Ouroboros Spine Those lights

the song of a stranger fills the air, a song contorted with sadness and an ode for forgiveness. shikoba wonders about the identity of this man as she makes her way towards the border from where the loner may be. but before she approaches, she soon hears the call of kukutux.

the man is not welcome. while the duck's message is not threatening, it holds a very clear sign that this visitor may not cross. now that shikoba is sure of what is wanted by moonglow's matriarch, she stands in place as a guardian of kukutux's words.

she approaches distantly from the high ground of one of the spines that surrounds the sacred land. as the native peers down, she sees the pale wolf below who asks for passage. a hardened look over her face, she slowly descends from her platform onto flat ground. however, the man responds to kukutux in a seemingly frustrated manner. 

no matter the identity of this man, he poses a threat to the new mothers. father, son, lover, or mere friend -- it doesn't matter to her -- he will be met with the same teeth for any title he may hold. she approaches quickly now at a lope, tail and hackles raised. 

disrespect is not something shikoba will ever take to lightly. when she approaches, she expects him to submit or back away from the border. no words leave her black lips yet, for feral actions will speak louder in this moment. should adrastus be cautious and submissive, perhaps he may then earn some grace from the warrior woman, as well as a few words.
