Ouroboros Spine atangiksauruk ◬

Ajei moved forward and dipped her head down to the other women/girls in attendance. She wetted the corners of her maw. And touched a tongue to her teeth, entirely unsure. But then she thought of her mother and lifted her head a little prouder. 

I am Ajei Shikobasdaughter. And I bring you information on the Kinaalda something my mother held dear and something I did to both grow into womanhood and also to grieve her. She was strong, stronger than me and beautiful and it pleases me greatly to share something of her with all of you.

Ajei shifted and swung her tail gently. As she gathered her thoughts. This rite of passage lasts 4 days. 4 days for the 4 seasons. You will run to the east each day as the sun rises, twice or thrice if you must. This is to ensure you grow strong. Moonwoman will mold you each day ensuring that you are formed int he shape of leading women. You will only eat simple foods, nothing seasoned. Only the flesh of animals and the harvest of the land. On the third day you will hunt alone. This is to bring something back to the village for all to eat. You will store this and on the fourth day bring it to the wolves to share.

her voice broke on some of the tellings. And she felt tears gather at teh corners of her eyes as she thought of her mama.
