Moonsong Glacier tulatuk

Kilgitsuk did not know this name, and pocketed it. He knew that Sialuk commanded the mountain; but these tidbits that the stranger shared did not rouse much from him now. It wasn't until the name of the man, which Kilgitsuk accepted, that he finally felt compelled to speak again.

Should you see the moon woman, you may tell her... A pause; he was not sure what words would suffice. A great swelling of guilt threatened to overwhelm him. The muscles of his jaw tense as he clenches his teeth, as if to force down bile—but it is more complicated than that. Sakhmet's face flashes in his memory; Kivaluk, Akkuma—and the intensity of his failures, like a phantom limb flaring to life.

Hawk-in-snow sends his regards. Kilgitsuk.
