Ouroboros Spine Olwen

The raindrop's claim upon the spear grew stronger each day. She traveled with Sixsix close after anaa's word of what had happened to Tulukiri. Sialuk's heart hung heavy for the girl who would soon join taataa and braataa in the dancing lights. Death was a thing Sialuk knew well, and she had long since learned that it did not come easy to those it left in its wake. She mourned for the girl, even if they had not been close.

Sialuk brought with her to Moonglow some herbs she had found in the upper reaches of Moonspear, intending them for anaa. She paused uncertainly on the borders for only a moment, then smiled and shook her head with a smile. Kukutux would always welcome her here, the raindrop knew.
