Ouroboros Spine Tauttuk

man with deep voice had named his son for the soft cotton grasses.

she could hear this voice somehow, and her eyes danced with it. how many things did kannoyak carry with him? kukutux had brought much of her people and their ways to the teekon. now it grew beyond her.

but the fellowship of another north-wolf would always do a beautiful thing for her spirit.

woman with knowing eyes. kukutux blushed almost like a girl, her gaze dropping demure once more. "i am named for ducks hiding in soft snow. but moonwoman. it has been mine for so long i cannot remember. when the mountain moonspear was hurt by a falling star, i waited for my husband and my son to come down. for nine nights sialuk and i sang the death songs."

her eyes were wet now. "in those nights, the moon came to me and looked down upon me and upon sialuk. it became a part of my spirit."
