Moonspear my lord: the king is dead

Sialuk did not know why the stars had come down to wreak havoc on her home. A part of her wondered if it was punishment for something one of her ancestors had done. Or perhaps it was mere chance that they landed here and not in a place sparsely populated. Whatever the reasoning, Sialuk felt that she had always been destined to become head of her own village, be it here or another place. She was first daughter to moonwoman, and her father had been an important part of Moonspear.

The starwoman's eyes followed the gaze toward the distant peaks. She rarely traveled outside of the villages that she knew. Since she had come back from her journey a year ago, she had not felt the pull to do so. Now, she found herself wondering the intentions of this woman. She had shared her news of the king's death that Sialuk had not known, Sialuk had shared Moonspear's current fate, and yet the woman lingered.

Will you return to your people, now that the message has come to Moonspear? she asked, curious.
