Ouroboros Spine a man waits all his lifetime for one moment to arrive

Whoa! Stratos skittered back when the woman came into view, eyes wide and fur all spiked about his nape. He'd charged into the daylight ready for everything, but hadn't expected someone to meet him so soon!

And she puffed at him with a mighty breath -- and surely he ought to do something! But rather than snap at the air, he found himself giving a sharp sneeze and a mighty shake of his little head. How dare she catch a knight off guard! He recognized her scent as something familiar -- something mother carried herself. Warm and milky.

So Stratos sprung at her like he would at Kukutux, or either of his sisters, when they tried to tussle with him, and aimed at her paw with the thought he might throw her off balance and slay the great dragon before him!
