Moonspear The painful tears of goodbye

Sialuk, stricken into silence, led the procession into Moonspear’s heart towards her ulaq. Njord watched as Rodyn and his companion followed, bassinets carefully cradled in their jaws, before he fell into position at the end of their line. Though Njord was no stranger to Death, he would never become accustomed to greeting Them, no matter how many times they met.

There were no words in heaven or earth that could begin to mend the grief that husband, father, sister, and family endured now. Simply being present was all the man could do for his friend who did not deserve such loss. The sadness passed through him – flooded him – but the Elder did his best to be strong like an anchor in rough seas, and walked with the broken Father in commisery so he would not have to do so alone.
