Ouroboros Spine kinaalda

all good with me! <3

the day after shikoba was given to the embrace of earth, ajei began the rite which bound her to the spirits of her mother's people.

she embraced ajei tightly before she began her run, watching over the crimson figure of the girl until she disappeared from view.

and she would be there the next morning, ready to say the sacred words shikoba had taught to her, to rub the girl's limbs, with feathers and sacred earth, to sing her into the second day of the kinaalda.
