Duskfire Glacier Moonlight racing on water

The moon child found that she enjoyed the unfamiliarity of the glacier and its people. It was full of scents she had never smelled before, sounds that had never been heard on the rocky terrain of the spine, and wolves who knew nothing of her or her family. All of them had been kindly. As the child ventured into the glacier territory, she did not fear the idea that she was not of the glacier. They were guests, after all, and she was a moon child.

Samani searched the edge of the territory with a curious glint in her eyes. The fragrance of an unfamiliar man was there – perhaps the man who had been gone when they had arrived – and she found it curious. The girl moved along the edge of their claim with soft steps. She thought of Veteran and of Kigipigak, wondering if she would see one of them out there. As she walked, she kept her eyes up and searching.
