Ouroboros Spine shark in shallow water

a boy, angry and spat on the world that raised him. if shikoba were to know of the hard upbringing nuak had in ursus, she would feel a sense of remorse for burying her teeth into him and not letting him go to run off. however, that does not wipe away the crimes he committed against moonglow and against kukutux. for stealing an artifact from her altar and bringing about the tupilak, there is more the boy needs to pay for than just flesh.

but thankfully, the duck has her knd ways of dealing with a hurt spirit, especially the one she believes holds ostrega blood. shikoba will not act unless told. "has nuak try to escape?" a question that would be answered in the future, but for now, shikoba is blind to what the boy is capable of when he realizes his size and weight. "anger does not settle." she would know after all, the woman has a fiery temper that can be hard to douse.
