Duskfire Glacier Oh, how they tear at you now

@Tomkin forward dated to when he returns :)

Tapeesa woke at twilight, she had never quite accustomed to sleeping at night after their travels, and emerged from her den beneath the glow of a blood red moon. Her awe-filled gaze was drawn to Tiqaqq where she could be seen between the black branches of the forest. 

The moon was angry tonight, red with rage as she evaded Siqiqniq through the day. Uki shuddered at the brilliance of the color, reminding herself to seek out some small animal and sacrifice it for her goddess. 

Her aimless wandering led her to the meadow, her coat turned rosy with the vicious moonlight. The tundrian appeared seemingly from nowhere beneath the maple trees, weaving amongst the pink and purple blooms as a chilly breeze caused the flowers to dance. 

Stars twinkled, like so many tiny white fires burning in the sky, the moon hidden from sight by the black expanse of the forest. Tupilaq curled amongst the blooms, tucked in on herself as if even alone amongst the flowers she wished to be small and insignificant.

She'd eaten some of the psychoactive mushrooms at dawn before she slept with the hopes that their psychedelic effects would lull her into a deep sleep. Instead she was trapped in disturbing and colorful dreams. The world around her seemed dark, blurry on the edges - Tapeesa blinked slowly in the dark, as if blind, from the lingering effects of the drug.
