❖ AIHAGWE & SHIREN
A warm fire crackled among the nightly symphony of sounds a wanderer might think this was a human thing, but those around the fire were not human at all. They were animals, a two headed snake with wings and a small mammal which could best be described as a colorful misshapen skunk with wings.
The child slept,curled into a tight ball of fur, not making a sound while patterns akin to rippling water lazily dances their way across her multi-hued pelt.
Through skilled handling of wings and tail to serve the role of hands, the conjoined snake twins were working on something. Etching with fine skill into a piece of wood, they worked out detail with an awl, and chisel. The idolic engraving that emerged was like a starving wolf, twisted around itself in motion. The fire light that reflected on the piece looked eerie and cruel, though the light elsewhere was welcoming and warm.
Perhaps there were others with them. The threesome had been on the move for some time, and had mingled in and out with other animals as they went. The snake often proposed the clannish idea of traveling together as long as their paths ran parallel, and using each individual's talents for easing the journey for all.
Of course the snake often took charge in those situations, using their previous leadership experience to guide what they deemed the best actions. Not everyone they had met liked that.
