Ocean's Breath Plateau tikalaak

The ice melt sounded terrible! Raiyuk had grown up with his father's stories of seal hunters on the thick ice, and to hear that it could go away was a surprise. Then again, he had not yet been across the ice, or he would be a man now.

Father will take me across the ice before that, I hope. It sounded like spring was a bad time to become a man or earn his scars; that or dangerous and difficult, which Raiyuk found he dreaded. I am glad you are happy, anaa.
