Shadowwyn Moor Scorpius

"No," Esma shook her head, but was intrigued by the description nonetheless. Mom had told her that there would be a time, when their spirit animal would be chosen or it would choose her, and she was pretty sure that in the long list of animals, turtle had not been among them. At least the name did not sound familiar to her. Could it be that she had found out hers already? Was this ghost a messenger of the two great bear gods? Was it really that easy - just name the animal and it is yours?

So many questions, but she did not dare to ask any one of them. Because if Wraen truly was connected to Atka and Sos, then Esma would embarrass her family name by revealing her ignorance. Gods were fickle beings and she did not wish to ruin any of the hard work Ash Paw had done by paying respect and worship to them. Instead she decided on a more harmless topic. "Can you tell a story about a turtle?" she asked.
