Ouroboros Spine baby, it's cold outside

i am so stoked LMAO <3

each year that sialuk had come of age, kukutux had asked that tooteega give grandchildren to moonglow.

now the gentle hope had moved to samani. callyope would be next. how fast the seasons moved!

ariadne had not yet spoken her want. kivaluk moved swiftly toward manhood, and she too was proud of him as she would be a son. and mojag, she wanted a gentler future for him than where he now was.

it was stratos who called to her! stratos, who strode up the path to the ulax, full of joy and if he had never been away. "iqniqa!" she cried and ran to meet him. 

kukutux embraced stratos there on the trail. "it is good to see your face. come. i will give you meat. you will tell me what you have done on your journey."

he had grown older, the duck realized with a start. he held so much the face of his father and it was the ocean and snow which came together in the color of his eyes. his shoulders were strong. he looked well and carried the wild smell of the great trees.
