Ouroboros Spine Worth more than Gold

The sea girl was overwhelmed with emotion she did not understand. She maintained a cool expression, allowing Rodyn to work on moving the gift to the proper place. He even offered the girl a muffled apology. Her cheeks scored red, and she looked to him with a small smile upon her lips.

Do not apologize, Samani spoke in a hushed voice.

Once he had fastened it, the girl turned her head and admired the work. Rodyn was a great talent. He was a craftsman and a fine hunter. Samani believed that Kukutux would be pleased with his many great attributes. She could hardly pull her eyes from the feathers. They brushed against her fur and rose the flesh underneath with goosebumps.

I will run with the speed of the birds, now. It is all thanks to you, Rodyn, Samani said, finding her composure. She looked to the hunter man and stepped forward, nudging beneath his chin in warm display of her thanks. You are a very talented man.
