Ouroboros Spine in a battle, that's all you get

i will, wintersbane promises her. that much he can do for her and kukutux. you have my word. he does not wish to think of that night but still it haunts him; creeping into his nightmares and his waking hours when a crack of a twig beneath the weight of the snow or snapping under his own paw spooks him. he is a warrior and cannot help but be embarrassed that he is so easily shaken ...but he could not have protected moonspear or firefly glen from the events that happened. there had been no prediction of it; and mother nature left him shaken up.

it would take some time before the silences were not too loud and he regained mastery over his reactions at each loud noise he hears.

i am wintersbane — he says; and no sooner has his name left his lips did kukutux call for sialuk to take him within. i would like to see your mother. he might be settling elsewhere but he sees no issue with speaking to the matriarch about a potential alliance. he does not have much to offer them, aside from his teeth, his respect and pack immunity. he hopes it would be enough.
