Ouroboros Spine it'll eat away at your knees until you are left with nothing

so sorry for the late reply! i've been moving stuff for my trip back to university so i've been away from my desktop and wifi :O 

her answer is somewhat cryptic, but it seems the choice made by the native will satisfy the village and its leader. shikoba is content, curious, and perhaps even confused. the boy is going to be given a place of challenge and humiliation, and he will have to choose to either grow from it or let it mark him forever as shikoba's teeth will grace his skin once again.

after the choice is made and shikoba nods her head to kukutux, the moonwoman encourages her to follow back to the original ulaq where shikoba slept her first night in moonglow. to see the new twins. shikoba is rather unsure around children as she is always afraid she will hurt them with her sharp and playful nature. but despite this, she goes to follow kukutux. "lead shikoba."
