Duskfire Glacier Katimak

Lane nodded. She wasn't terribly surprised that Kukutux saw it this way. The North was a severe place, and it gave rise to a hard people. She knew that the moonwolves had rendered harsh judgement upon the treacherous nuak who was once their packmate, imprisoning him for a time and then disfiguring him upon his release. Kukutux and was not a woman to be crossed, and her pack was not to be wronged. She made sure of it. 

Lane's eyes fell closed as she sighed in contemplation. She agreed with Issorartuyok; she did not think she was capable of imposing exile upon Tzila's boys, but then she also did not know what secrets the future held. Makatza had scarred her own child, and when the girl ran off, Lane hadn't spared her another thought. If Arius or Ensio ever hurt someone she loved, would it harden her heart to them, too? 

"..It is nothing more than a glacier that their father claimed without those who remain to fill it."

"I've said as much to Arius. A leader rises not by strength alone, but by the will of his people. I encouraged him to spend more time getting to know his own people. I hope he takes my advice." Lane did not comment on Issorartuyok's solution to whisk the Tatkrets away, should he clash with Arius and Ensio in the future. She had enough to worry her as it was; it would not do to fret over distant possibilities. There were many crises still to overcome in the present, as it were. 

Speaking of which.

"Moonglow and Duskfire Glacier hunt side by side in the valley. Sapphique and Rivenwood wolves have participated too, I believe. Very soon, the sickness will be completely purged." It was the win Lane needed after an unbelievably long week. Light flickered into her eyes as he chewed.
