Ouroboros Spine BWP: TSS Bones

While the bones were certainly about the right size to have belonged to wolves he could not tell exactly what they were. The bridge of the snout may have been a wolf or a coyote or even a bear, and the ribcage could have belonged to a deer. Feeling Ajei's heartbeat through the skin on his flanks was an odd contrast to the stillness of the gleaming white remains. Despite his own words he felt himself pressing back into her. "I don't know. But they can't hurt you." He looked at the recessed darkness where the eyes should have been on one of the smaller skulls.

An unfamiliar twinge of sadness tugged at his chest. Whatever this creature had been it had still been small when it died, and then buried here for who knew how long. Forgotten. "I'm going to look, then let's go." He really should have just gotten them both up as soon as possible, but if he left he was not all that sure he would go back. And it felt wrong to simply leave it there.
