Redhawk Caldera aitchugaa-kaluk

Kilgitsuk took time to eat his fill at the lake, and extra fish he caught were tidied (he ate their innards to help preserve them), and bundled so that he could carry them with greater ease. He passed through a forest as he moved south, and there he collected plants to help bind the fish, and berries, and some familiar flowers; it almost looked as if the man were preparing a gift.

When he made camp for the night he did so on a hillside that terminated further ahead (about one-hundred feet through ferns and scattered trees) with a sudden drop. He did not know that this space was occupied, but there was wolf-scent and many game trails he had passed. It did not bother him to be so close to a village—he was a trader after all, and sometimes that required he come close.
