Silver Creek he is beloved and he is feared

there are a lot of scars on kjalarr's body but he remembers them all ...and does not doubt that before his life is over others will be collected. they are trophies, sagas carved into his flesh. achievements and punishments. "a challenge. a fight to the death," that was the way of his father's culture. of his culture. "he had something i wanted, so i took it." and for a while he had led odinn's cove as his father and his father's father before him. but odinn's cove was not his birthright and kjalarr was not satisfied. the coywolf is unabashed and though his interest in the mostly blind eye might have perturbed anyone else kjalarr is willing to tell the tale, regardless of how vague he spins it. he might have thought it a curse but it is his curse, and like all the others ( potema's brand not withstanding ) it is also a trophy of a battle whose outcome could have been very different without it.
