Ouroboros Spine puyuk

mojag was polite and curious. it made chakliux proud, to think already he was teaching. "my mother is a shaman, and very known. my father is a seal hunter, as was his father, and so on and so forth."
any boy knew his lineage. chakliux found it boring. only mothers cared about such things, and men when they grew old. "only men have scars. we get them when we kill our first seal." he stopped to show them to mojag, the ones on his shoulders as well as his face. "it hurts very much to be scarred. sometimes your older brothers sit upon you and hold you while the shaman makes the marks. it is weakness to cry. i did not," the young seal hunter said proudly. "it is a village of strong ones, like your own, hunter mojag!"
