Backdated to 12/26 before the hunt @Matteo @Bronte

A new sentiment spiced the air! A harrowing thrill. A worthy danger. Wolves mingled about as they prepared their bodies and minds for the hunt ahead.

Sialuk’s presence helped ease Seal’s nerves. The young woman ordered her mentor’s herbs and arranged their charms. Then, Seal took a sprig of evergreen mountain laurel and set off to bless the hunters with good luck.

As she moved through the crowds, Seal couldn’t help but notice that the hunting wolves ranged in age. Some were even younger than herself! So brave, Seal thought.

Two such wolves crossed her path. One was a young lad of soot and ash, the other a young woman with golden furs. “Would you like a blessing for good fortune for the hunt?” Seal asked them.
