Ouroboros Spine Landstrider

Anaa! Arrluk calls out as he drops the goat leg to the forest floor and the length of his neck drapes around hers. He then lifts his gift, storing it into the nearest cache where he is able and listens to his mother's words as they walk along the worn paths of home. 

His ears perked at hearing the leave of Kivaluk and Chickadee, then higher when he hears of Ariadne and Stratos, eyes widening. 

Many to return and many more children. He spoke. Hell, he and Ajei were still but yearlings. Grown in the eyes of the Sunshine people and yet still far from well-rounded adults by many not of their culture. I will have to meet Stratos... He admits, the eldest son of Aiolos and Kukutux that he had never known. Is all well with Ariadne? And I'm sure Chickadee's family is happy to have her there for her first litter. Who will be First Hunter, now that Kivaluk has gone? He asks, eager to know all that he has missed.
