Ouroboros Spine i loved you like the sun

the first lesson was this: history.

the seal hunter boy.

the ways of the island, the ways of hunters and women. the ways in which kukutux had been reared, and those things she had left behind.

the falling rocks. grandfather tusk. the death ulax built entirely by a grieving girl.

courtfall. 

moonspear. the blackbear. the blackfox. the name ostrega. the brothers who warred over it.

the man mauruk, silent brother to sialuk and one who now could not be named again.

how his return had marked the death of their sister and daughter.

how those who had passed on must not return.

kukutux spoke on and on, though these were not lessons that could be imparted in one time.

only the first; a history.
