Duskfire Glacier Tamiulupâ

The man was grateful to hear it. He had worried for Lane most days, thinking that he had left her behind and ventured into the wilderness with both of her children at his side. They were not alone, though. Heda and Ensio had been there, helping to keep them strong. The young ones were good. Issorartuyok was filled with pride to know them, to be able to teach them.

I thank you for helping Lane in my absence. There is a mountain in the far west, across two mountain ranges. It is nestled by a glade. I believe that to be our destination.

Issorartuyok would need to meet with Lane to make the preparations. He wished to check on her, to make sure she was well. Their journey had been a long one and it was likely that the glacier had been left with no large prey. Even upon their return, he could smell the sickness that hung in the air.

We will pass by Moonglow on our trip. You will get to visit the Moonwoman, yes? She is very good. Very wise. The northerner smiled fondly in thought of Kukutux.
