Ouroboros Spine pitâk ◺

Foxfur did not feel quite so far from home in Moonglow. It seemed that they were just another clan, much like the Starsea.

The differences that he noted were curious ones. It seemed that the women of Moonglow were not intended to behave in the same way as the hunters, the men. They played different roles, but Foxfur could not tell what they were yet. When he had spoken to Sialuk, it had seemed that the girl would flow to meet the mold that was asked of her. That could not be all they allowed the women to do.

Men and women are not divided in my clan. We are not so different to the stars, you see.

The dusty color of his eyes drifted upward, as though he would see the speckling lights gazing back down at him.

The leader, seer, and medicine wolf are all decided by the stars. The leader then spends their life conversing with the stars, making decisions for the clan, working with the seer who dreams visions granted by the stars, and the medicine wolf who uses their knowledge of herbs and spirits to help guide the leader in dire times.

Speaking it aloud, it seemed complicated. Foxfur felt he was speaking far too much. Yet, he did not wish for Kukutux to share her culture with him, not without offering something in return.

It is said that those stars above are the everglowing spirits of the warriors and leaders before us.
