Moonspear feeling

Sialuk smiled at her daughter as she made her way to the ulaq where she had been born. It was a quiet, dusty place, out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the rest of the village. There were bittersweet memories here, and Sialuk hoped that Maggak would never need to know the same pains that her mother had gone through. Still, it was an important part of her heritage, and it only seemed right to show it to her.

This, she said, slowing as they approached the abandoned ulaq, is where my mother brought me into the world. I spent my first months here, just as you have spent your first months in our home. When you are older, I think it would make a good ulaq for you. Sialuk peered at her daughter, wondering if she would take this suggestion in the months to come. For now, she needn't answer, and they could spend the rest of the day exploring more of Moonspear.
