He had returned from the desert more certain than before, that his home was meant to be upon the ice, spent as a solitary hunter or with his father; he was glad to return and to see him, yet found him changed.
The lessons reunited father and son, and Raiyuk did all that was asked of him. He learned of Chakliux' hunt and knew that was why he was angered in part, but beyond that remained ignorant.
The boy swam, and sank, and held his breath. He ran great lengths. Finally, his father had him sparring and testing him. Raiyuk was proud of his progress, and prouder still of all the time spent with his father. In the coming months he knew time with him would be less and less frequent, as he would be with his wives and future children; so for now, the hard work was savored.
