Ouroboros Spine you come from a line of kings

taking liberties, plz lmk if not okay! <3

the words too remained with her.

three days after she delivered their sons into the world and sakhmet their daughter, shikoba found her own trials.

and so moonwoman had nursed her children and put the boys into the paws of @Aiolos and @Sakhmet. she would not be deterred.

she walked slowly, calling for @Kivaluk to attend her.

she arrived as shikoba bore the first child; she slipped close and spoke softly to the mother in the throes of labour.

she prayed; a chant rose. and the secondborn arrived, and she sang again, wiping each child as they crawled to the belly of their mother.

inutsuk came then, and kukutux retreated. but she had set out herbs for milk, for bleeding; she would come again or send another to check on shikoba, was her promise.

eventually she returned to her own ulaq, curling around the pups to feed them again. and joy rose in her heart.
