Great Bear Wilderness tuvaaktuk ⧜

Samani pulled her head away from her mother’s fussing, knowing that she only did it with love in her heart but disliking it, nonetheless. She had been busy watching the gathering of villagers, preparing themselves for the journey they would take to the glacier. There were many things to take in. The girl of the sea did not want to miss them, not even one thing. It was an important day. It would be a memory that remained with her until she had grown.

Kukutux instructed Samani to remain with her older sister. The young girl nodded her head in understanding. Her jade eyes floated along the other wolves, searching for familiar faces and newcomers. The child knew that the importance of their journey would show when they had arrived and were accepted on the glacier. What she did not know was the journey would not be an easy one. For a young wolf who had only ventured within the spine, it would be a taxing excursion.

Samani moved to press herself close to Sialuk. She was comforted by the pelt that was draped across her shoulders, pleased with the warmth that it would give. The child of the sea was ready for whatever would come next.
