Ouroboros Spine Somewhere out there

The ulaq was never safer than it was with Akmaaksi, Tautuk and Nutu. Auntie was a beautiful woman, and Aaka just as much so, but Nutuyik was sure that only they were capable of fending off great beasts. Great beasts, like the man who had been with her Aaka that was not her Aapa.

"He not comin'." She told him.

"Or he'd be here now."

Would he not? If he was coming? If he was coming for them, why did he make them wait so long?

Her heart broke itself. And it also raced many, many miles now. They would see him again, because she decided a solution if he would not cone to them.

"We gots to find him."
