Firefly Glen egangak ⋼

Kigipigak was a distant figure behind the women, guarding them on this excursion from the village. He had not meant to interact with them and kept an eye out for dangers, or sightings of Sakhmet, though his heart was not in it to the same degree as before.

They moved through the glen and up ahead, when Kukutux spoke to Lote, the voice drew his attention and the turn of an ear. He was looking around at the many leaves littering the path; the glen looked much changed in this season, a far cry from the last time he had been here.

He wondered too, if the crushed body he had found remained, or had become one with the forest. Silently he roved, keeping guard, and keeping them from straying along the path too close to where he thought it might be at rest.
