Duskfire Glacier Katinngak

Ensio sighed, watching the other kids and gauging their reactions, their expressions. Wayfarer and Heda seemed willing to go with Issorartuyok, but Veteran was hesitant. He wanted to stay and try to save the village. It was understandable. The Glacier was their birthplace. The only home they had ever known. Just because he didn't show it, didn't mean it wasn't just as hard to leave it behind for Ensio as well. Not so long ago, he would have fought tooth and nail against this decision. 

He didn't know what they would find out there in the west. Hopefully someplace just as good as their home, where this sickness couldn't touch the prey. He couldn't help but wonder, momentarily, why Heda would want to go so far from her birthplace in Rivenwood. He shook that aside. "I will come too." He affirmed to Issorartuyok.
