Ouroboros Spine Hear your voices sing back louder

Hoping for grandparents but all welcome <3 permission was granted by Ariadne's player for the dream!

Nasamiituuq's journey had taken her much farther from home than she ever could have imagined. It had been the low, late song of an owl which had guided her from the Teekon Wilds in those first weeks. Each night the girl had listened faithfully for the sound, and each night she followed the path it traced. The days of endless walking and the long, lonely nights seemed a blur in her memory now.

In the end she had found more than she sought. Rather, they had found her; exhausted, huddled beneath the scant shelter offered by a tall broadleaf fern from the icy dawn drizzle, Nasamiituuq had been found by a small group of wolves. Women in feathers; proud women, hunters of birds and seekers of summer whose journey began with their birth and ended only with their death. At first they had not understood one another. Still, the women were kind to Nasamiituuq. They'd welcomed her.

So it had not taken her long to learn their language or their ways. Their shaman had taught her many things, secret things earned through scathing trials. For a time Nasamiituuq had thought she might never leave.

It was a dream which had drawn her away in the end: a dream of her grandmother weeping. A dream of a woman wrought in amber and moonlight, her delicate features unmoving as if time itself had stopped. Nasamiituuq had not seen her before, or if she had it had faded from her memory by now.

Dread sat heavily in her stomach as she approached the borders of her home, not knowing what she would find there. Nasamiituuq called softly for @Kukutux and @Aiolos.
