Ouroboros Spine kunikruk ∄

Kausiut's hoarding of items and mimicking Sialuk's actions had begun as a hobby to entertain herself, when her paws hurt too much for her to do anything else. She had no understanding of, what it meant or why was it done. Mentors' attempts to teach her to connect with spirits in a particular way had fallen on deaf ears. She still treated it as a game and played it by her own rules.

Lately, however, the game had evolved. She observed that occasionally a particular item and a word chained together made people react in a particular way. Kau was unable to tell the many shades of emotions apart yet, but she was able to put them in two broad groups - positive and negative. Then her focus shifted from the items and formations themselves, to eliciting emotions in people. Push buttons at random and find a pattern in the end.

Kau had chosen this rock and name for it at random, but it seemed to have done its magic. Without realizing it, Kukutux had done exactly, what she had been told. After observing her for some time and going through all the things she knew about her mom that would come in useful in her mind, she picked out a white seagull's feather and brought it to her mom and pushed it carefully underneath the rock. In her experience, feathers had nasty tendency to be blown away. "Light," she told her, then sat back and watched.
