Duskfire Glacier Tuttusiugiak

I would be pleased to, Issorartuyok said firmly, nodding his head to Ensio with a gentle smile. He had not known the boys wished to be taught by him. If he thought on it, he realized that he would have assumed their father would carry their teaching. Wintersbane was gone, but what had they learned from him before his passing? They were capable of talking and expressing their feelings – this was beyond anything the northern man had been capable of at such an age.

These lands will be for all. We will treat each member as family, as a piece of our spirit. We can only be strong together. The dream Ensio’s father had for the glacier would not be forgotten in its new leadership. Issorartuyok intended only for them to grow closer, to become more stable and confident in themselves. He wanted their village to be the soundest in the land, and he had no intention of resting until that happened.

You are not alone, young man of the glacier. You have family in the glacier. I will do all I can to help make you and your brothers strong, to teach you to be good men. You will be honor to your father and mother.
