Ouroboros Spine pikkuti ▪

"you are a daughter of moonglow."

and it was so.

Sedna had seen the duck's drive for a legacy and had taken those blood-daughters who might have followed. her pride had been its own hand, and for that kukutux knew she would bear shame into the end.

even her granddaughter had spurned the name of moonwoman, and all to bring her gaze introspective.

the lesson given lived in the everlasting loyalty of ajei, first to moonglow, then to moonspear, and then again to the village of her mother's people.

tongue heavy; words did not come. in the warm silence of love did they live.
