Ouroboros Spine wolf-mother, where you been?

kassuq had not yet come back.

moonglow returned to ouroboros and her eyes often looked unseeingly in the direction of moonsong. her heart had torn for ariadne, but she knew the glacier would not welcome the mother who had shunned kigipigak.

her life resumed in small tasks but with renewed preparation for the camp of her own she meant to keep; this was something to which she looked forward, for it had been long years since the duck had been alone.
