The strong survive [J]

The bond that his uncle had with Tartok, although not by blood, was pure and strong. He was loyal only to his name just as Aariak and his brothers were. "Of course" he answered in inuktitut, "He knows the history of the name even better than he knows himself." probably too much for Aariak's liking. Every time he had a chance, his uncle repeated the stories to him and his brothers, and by now, even they knew them well enough to write a book about it.

Thinking of his uncle made Aariak wonder if he and his brothers would find him here. He'd been lucky to stumble upon this place, a pack marked by Tartok, which although was in expansion it still was too withdrawn from the outside world to be easy to find.
