Ouroboros Spine tatamnaktuk ⨸

skippable from here on out!

Something in anaa changed, though Sialuk could not know what it was. She did as she was told, pausing only a moment to watch the two small sistraas at her mother's breast. She pulled herself away, then called softly for Aiolos.

Aiolos, come to meet them, she said quietly, a smile upon her lips.

The others would not be welcome, not yet. Sialuk would stay outside and ensure that they knew where they were meant to be. Anaa had been through much and more, and Sialuk would not have the others encroaching on her sacred day. Above, Sixsix circled for a time, then perched on a nearby tree.

You will see them someday, Sixsix, she said to the crow. Not today, but some day.
