Deepwood Weald katiktaak ∾

@Tzila <3

the bountiful forest brought rest to kukutux.

she had become filled with wanderlust. her season should have already arrived, but the cold world and the scarcity of food brought her mother's advice to heart: that fewer babies were born after the longer darks. and while the sun remained unabated, the duck wondered if she would not be given the chance this year.

a heaviness to her heart, but she would not succumb to it. only sedna, only the spirits knew these secret knowledges, and she must obey. she curled her legs beneath her, yawned, felt the bark of a great tree behind her head as she blinked slowly toward the meshed branches above her.
