when he had come back from moonspear, chakliux did not immediately turn for home. he meant to hunt first, perhaps somewhere between the emerald forest and the sea.
what he found was the taste of snow and the smell of ice as he headed away from the moon villages. chakliux passed the place of pale stones and found a glacier rising rampantly.
it filled the air with welcome chill even from this distance. the wolf climbed carefully upon the slick paths, seeing how they raced upward. to what, he did not know.
the land glittered beneath the touch of the sun. the fragrance of elk, of deer, of pika, crowded its lower reaches. but beyond that was one chakliux knew well: seal, using the cool of the glacier to congregate before traveling out to see.
it was a fierce place, treacherous in its step of course, but a piece of home, and chakliux intended to rush back to tell @Ariadne at once.
