Ouroboros Spine it happened if i say it

his maternal grandmother, the sunking tells kivaluk.

which, makes sense. in truth, he knew very little of kigipigak but from what he did know his family was outside the wilds.

not that sakhmet had every spoken of her cubhood much, as far as kivaluk could remember.

a sort of unsettle pools in kivaluk's stomach, steeling his heart as he comes to a consideration that while his parents knew everything about him they were practically strangers to him. and everything about that seems so twisted and unfair to kivaluk.

he does not wish to resent the wolves that gave him life but the older he grows and the more he realizes he doesn't know ... the patterns of instability ... the more he feels it lurking like a chained beast beneath his flesh.

he offers a noncommittal noise; trying to process why learning of his family, of where and who he came from, was feeding that beast of resentment instead of enlightening him.

when did you meet, anaa? kivaluk asks, hoping to steer the conversation away his blood family.
