Ouroboros Spine Nutarau

Rodyn stated that he was an autumn wolf, from a place called Embershadow grove. It sounded nothing like the villages that were made around them. Samani pictured a faraway place dappled in the orange light and cool chill of fall. She could picture him there with ease. Something inside of her wished that she could see it for herself.

When he spoke of what had brought him to Moonglow, he mentioned her anaa. Samani smiled, turning her head from him to conceal the expression from her face.

Yes, you said that right, she confirmed softly after he had finished.

The moon child was enamored with him. He was a man from a faraway place, a respectful man, someone who her mother had met and brought into their home. Beyond this, he was a hunter. Samani believed that the spirits were with her on that day – that she had found the ideal image of what her mother had wanted for her.

I wish to be a hunter, as well. I have been studying the tracks of wolf and prey. I have learned the gait of many of the wolves in Moonglow, already. Her cheeks warmed, but Samani fixed her gaze upon him and smiled. Do you think you could show me how you hunt, Rodyn?
