Moonspear prophecy girl

She had heard that word once before, now that she thought about it some more. Osiris had called Kukutux that word the day that she had taken them to meet him. She fell quiet as anaa explained the vast family tree, and Sialuk scooped up as much information as her young brain would allow. It was likely that she would ask about these relationships again as time went on, but for now, it was her understanding that all the wolves here had been born here, just as she had been.

Something about the way anaa talked about where she came from set a different mood, and Sialuk nearly felt guilty for asking. She moved quietly with her mother beneath the pine boughs, trying to imagine a very large water. When anaa explained that the sea was much, much larger, Sialuk's eyes widened. Ice was mentioned, and Sialuk wondered if it was the same as snow.

When her mother explained that she wished for that place each day, Sialuk's expression turned painful, and she licked her mother's cheek. Can we go sometime? To visit the sea and ice place? Would that make anaa happy?
