Great Bear Wilderness tuvaaktuk ⧜

this is the official leaving ouroboros thread! the pack forum will not change <3 the journey should take about a week and IC factors around their welcome by the taiga packs will influence the rest! it's about 3-4 days, so moonglow wolves can arrive at their own pace/scout ahead/etc. expect kukutux to arrive at their destination nov 21st. feel free to tag kuku in any threads between here and there, and also there :D this thread can be read only or one post apiece, and no posting order! <33

qanipalaat.

her sister had not returned.

hope remained in her heart.

perhaps no one else might understand it, but moonglow must leave. the spirits had ordered this to be.

the day prior had gone in a flurry of activity. she accepted that their absence might invite the teeth and hunger of others. or perhaps it would attract wandering spirits, grateful to rest in an empty village for a time. the meat of their caches and their old skins would be offering to either. it was the way of the island. it would be moonglow's way as well.

the duck fussed with samani. both her daughters were old enough for a small cutting of pelt to be wrapped around their shoulders. "stay with your angajuk," she instructed the sea girl. sialuk would keep her eyes upon this one. kausiut would be carried. her sisters and the hunters would help her. it was their way also. she intended for her daytime star to be a sacred being. her silence and her body spoke for itself. she was the child of the moon and the sun. and now kukutux knew to treat her as such.

her breath was a pillar of steam. the ground beneath their feet was not yet covered in snow. but their world had become a slight blurring of green against white. it would only become heavier.

"this is the time that my village left to live closer to the sea for a time. when the world became dark, the hunters went out upon the sea ice." she blinked at them all, face softening. "but we are together. and we travel as one village. tuttusiugiak!" moonwoman exulted. "we will live beside them and take the gift of their bodies. and then we will return home, where the spirits might bless us again."

aiolos, burning beside her. kukutux warmed to his strength.

in a short while the column of wolves filed from the spine. she remembered the words that @Wintersbane had spoken, that moonglow would be welcome in duskfire.

it was this that formed the path of the moonwolves forward.
