Ouroboros Spine ikuilliitik ⊮

Samani was pleased that they had returned to their home. She had missed Moonglow and the spine. She had missed the familiarity of their village lands.

The young moon child trailed behind her mother. Her ears turned curiously as Kukutux offered instruction to Shikoba. Though she knew that it would not be suitable for her, Samani wished to go with the warrior woman. She had thought often of Shikoba’s stories.

The scent of strangers was sharp against her nose. Someone had found one of their caches and had dug up the meat inside. Samani did not understand why this was such a terrible ordeal. She understood that strangers did not belong inside their village, but they had been away for many days. Their scents had been faded and worn away from the borders of Moonglow. Did this not invite wanderers?

The moon child did not ask her questions, only listened and followed after her mother.
