When she returned to the ulaq, Sixsix roosted outside. He croaked at her as she brushed past him, her mind heavy with the decision she would need to make. She went swiftly to the altar where her bones were kept, pulling them from their spot and hurling them to the floor. Sialuk did not wish for this choice to be put upon her, and she asked the ancestors for their guidance. She let her mind slip into the familiar calm state, her eyes crawling over the bones until she found those that spoke to her.

The first choice, to let them stay. It would put Moonspear into upheaval. This she knew in her heart. Sialuk frowned, wishing the bones had better things to say of that option.

The second choice, to turn them away. This would eat at her spirit to do so. It may even result in the death of Nasamik's children. Again, the bones spoke truth to her.

Lastly, Sialuk sought advice. The starwoman closed her eyes and listened for the mountain's voice. Her paws grazing over the bones until one felt right under her paw. This one was more difficult for her to interpret, and Sialuk stared at the bone for a long time, unsure of how it related to the situation at hand. It called for pleasure-seeking, for contentment. Sialuk rolled the bone over on the ground again and again, thinking of its meaning.

The answer began to take root in her heart, driving her spirit to a decision. When she knew, she gathered the bones back to the skin and set them back on the altar. Exiting the ulaq, she called to Sixsix to accompany her. He did so, taking flight and circling above. Though her decision had been made, she continued to feel unease as her feet walked familiar paths.

Nasamik waited.

Bring Chakliux to Moonglow, she said. He will find healing here. There is a condition to your staying. When he is able, Chakliux will warm my ulaq.
