Moonsong Glacier the place I want to be is somewhere in your heart

They remained entwined together, neither one quite willing to break the embrace. And then he spoke and all the doubt she had felt on the journey melted away. She did not want to voice it - not yet - but where her mind had belonged to Kangirsuk, her body and her soul would belong only to Morningsong now.

She held him tight in turn until her lungs ached and she drew back, tucking her chin so that her face nuzzled the soft furs of his chest. And then the words came pouring like rain from her cup. She spoke of her father's illness and passing, her mother's sudden death. Details of the their death rafts came next, followed by grievances of lost sisters.

"I have decided to take the name Ulloriaq," she finished. "To honour him and the stars he was a great warrior for." She did not expect him to reply - it was a lot to take in. But where the tears had come freely with Reina, she was surprised to find her cheeks dry. 

It was then that she twisted to cup his paw in hers. "Kukutux spoke to me in Hearthwood. She has told me what has happened. Morningsong - it is yours now?" How must he had felt? Her heart ached; she could only imagine how tumultuous the past weeks had been.
