Ouroboros Spine [m] ⊡ ukaksitaak ⊡

The grandfather stone was often a perch which Aiolos sat. Drinking up the sunlight as he looked out to the river connecting to the great lake which filled out the center of their home. Today, Aiolos was perched upon it again, yet this time with Kukutux. This time with Valiant and Vaire. They wore red in blood, he wore red of pelt. 

Vaire was wild, burning of hot flames like her father before her! She shouted out at Cen, out at the crowd. Aiolos leans over the edge of the rock as Cen growls and curses out his words. A snarl ripped from Aiolos, tongue flicking like a snake between his teeth. It may be your right among the Lanzadoii, but it is not among the Sunshine people. And from the place which Aiolos was raised, a man held no right over a woman. Not now. Not ever. To have the caribou man say such sickened the Sunman. 

On the island which I was raised, retribution for this was simple. He speaks, teeth still baring as he lifts himself back up into a high sit. He is unworthy to be husband or father. See to it that he cannot be ever again. Then allow him stay, repenting by his shame. A fine line between harsh and cruel and it was likely so that Aiolos had crossed this. A punishment which would have not caused an ounce of hesitation among the Nereides. 

Yet I pledge another choice: to be banished from all Moon villages. That he be made an enemy by them all and that this knowledge is extended to our allies the same. Moonglow had extensive connections to many, but all of the Moon villages and all their allies? Wherever Cen could go for a home, it would be far from here.
