Ouroboros Spine Wilderstar

I only worry because you are important here, Rodyn.

Samani might have wagered that he was more vital than she was. He had proven himself to be a capable hunter and a good man. He had shown to be loyal and dedicated. The worry was not in what she had to say so much as it was in the possible outcome of voicing these feelings. When she had been younger, the girl had thought Moonglow was the prettiest place in all the world.

That had been before she’d seen the sea. The image of her sister in the sand while Kukutux and Aiolos walked close by was one that had been pinned to her heart. Samani held that day above most others. She had believed it was like a dream. One taste of the sand beneath her paws and she had been smitten by the ocean and all it had to offer. The days after their beach trip had shifted her mentality. The young moon woman had wanted to see all there was.

My sisters left on journeys for themselves. I think it was hard on anaa. I think... she is strong – the strongest. But family is everything, to her. It was to Samani, as well. The young girl had not understood when Kau had left them. She had been upset and had spent a great deal of her time searching for reasons why Sialuk and then Kausiut would leave.

I want to stay close. Always near, so that I can come to her whenever I need her and she can do the same.

She’d had the idea since her visit to the ocean with her father.

The sea is not far! Please, Rodyn… let’s go. Let me show you! I wish to see how you walk in the sand.

The young wolf looked at him with a laugh on the edge of her lips. They could talk more of family and plans. When he had mentioned children, Samani had stirred with an unrecognizable feeling. Perhaps it was a fear that she might not be a good mother, or perhaps it was something more akin to admiration for Rodyn. A family would be nice, she thought.
