Ouroboros Spine kulavak ≭

With her time split now between the spear and the spine, Sialuk saw less of anaa, but it was not so much less that they had grown apart. To her, Kukutux would always be an integral part of her life. The mother who had born her into this world, and the mother who had weathered some of the harshest storms with Sialuk.

With her, Sialuk brought a fresh kill of beaver. She was not a hunter by nature, but she had been practicing more since she had begun helping Caracal. He was healed and on his own journey now, and Sialuk thought fondly of him. Perhaps in days ahead they would meet again.

A beaver for you and the little ones, Sialuk said once she had dropped the beaver near anaa. Is everything well?
