Moonspear halloween

For @Jarilo! Set for 11/05, afternoon.

The qanglaagix had come back a few more times. Each time, it brought a bone. Not all were as delicate as the first had been, but Sialuk had amassed quite a collection. Each time, she offered it meat, and it flew off to find more bones. This, she thought, was a perfectly acceptable deal. She had wrapped the bones in the soft skin of a rabbit, tending to them carefully and spending every moment she could staring at them. A new week, a new obsession.

There was something special about these qanglaagix bones. She could feel it when she looked at them, when she set her paws on top of them. They were not to be eaten or buried like she so often did with bones from animals. These were special. Sacred.

She was sitting in front of the rabbit skin now, the bones laid out however they had fallen when she had unwrapped it. Something about it reminded her of her mother's work, and Sialuk tried to decipher what that feeling was that tickled the back of her mind as she let her eyes wander over them. Back and forth, up and down, round and round.
