THE SEVENTH SONG

no posting order <3

kukutux thought of the small girl who would not live this time within their world.

what might she have been.

who she might have become.

tooteega snorted, albeit softly.

you must not wonder on that now, daughter. you have lost before. it is different this time because you are happier.

a great delight reaped a bitter harvest.

this, a woman's payment. rodyn suffered. aiolos grieved. kukutux felt as if some true part of sinew and blood was becoming nothing within the death ulaq.

once i said to you, teach sialuk these things. this you have done. now she is mother. now give these teachings to ariadne also. let all your daughters know the ways of your home. this is how your words remain living.

tooteega, whispering again; a time for new things

a time of change

the ice raises its shoulders

it waits to feed upon the earth

island walker girl, you are almost there

climb through, climb through

your journey is almost ended

your journey is almost ended
