Duskfire Glacier pisugnachuk

Kigipigak's voice boomed across the glacier, summoning Lane to border. He need not have waited in the outlands-- Moonglow wolves were welcome across the Glacier's borders during this time of hunting and feasting together. However, Lane knew that some wolves would be uncomfortable entering a foreign territory no matter how welcome they were made, and so she was happy to still meet Moonglow callers at the border when they needed her. Truly, she was just happy that the Moonglow wolves were here at all. They had made all the difference in saving the herd, and trekking out to the border every now and then was the least she could do to thank them. 

Despite knowing it was Kigipigak's voice which summoned her, Lane did not immediately recognize his somewhat misshapen form. It was only when she drew nearer that she realized he was draped by a skin. 

"Kigipigiak!" Lane greeted him enthusiastically. "That skin makes you look all the more ghostlike, Atka," she noted, grinning slyly as she dropped his new nickname. He had named her during their last hunt, and it was only fair that she returned the favor. Veteran had learned some of his father's language before his passing, and he had helped her brainstorm a good epithet. Guardian spirit. This was what he had been to her upon their first meeting, after all. 

"Is this really our caribou? Unbelievable..! It came out beautifully," she added, admiring its pristine, alabaster sheen. Kukutux had a real knack for this... maybe someday she would show Lane her ways. Maybe Lane would find the time to come out to the Moonglow camp and learn, before the moonwolves departed for their home across the mountain.
