Ouroboros Spine Anaana

@Kukutux

Not much unlike other youth her age Kau's journey had taken her away from home to grow more, learn new and find herself. Being of pragmatic sort - she would not put the purpose of her leaving Moonglow and staying with the Walrus hunters for almost a year in such terms. But the feeling was the same. She had left as a child and as she surveyed the familiar surroundings and smells of her birthplace now, they did not seem quite right. More likely the place had not changed, but she had.

Kausiut had grown from an ugly puppy into an unattractive young woman. Her face was asymmetrical and a perpetual frown seemed more natural to the features than a genuine smile. The girl was still very lean, though it was less visible under the unkempt winter-pelt, stained with dirt and dried up blood from hunts and meals. It was clear that she was not in a habit of grooming herself beyond the bare minimum and most likely her looks did not bother her. While one of her forepaws was still less functional than the rest of the three, her gait had improved and she moved with such an ease one would not expect from her.

Of many places she could have gone, the path had led her back here. For the time being at least.

She raised her head and called for her mom.
