Firefly Glen niece

Kannoyak was surprised at the flush of hot jealousy he felt in his stomach. He had made a place in the wood for the flower Sialuk had given him. The beauty of it had brought life into the dark of the trees and the chill that winter had upon the forest. It had felt like a fitting place to leave her offered gift, so that it might grow into something new again.

Seeing the flower that Chakliux wore, Kannoyak could not help but wonder if he had been mistaken. The raindrop woman could have any husband of her choice. Perhaps the gift had merely been a kindness, nothing more.

While Chakliux slept, Kannoyak kept guard. When the pale man woke, he would find a plucked turkey waiting to be feasted upon.
