Neverwinter Forest kiiksiugun ⊎

for panuk, aiolos, and callyope! aw tho if another searcher wants to join! no posting order!  set for the 21st

while @Tautukpik and akmaaksi rested in her den, joined by @Panuk for now, kukutux went in search of @Aiolos and @Vairë.

consumed by pain, halting, she told them what the boys had relayed of ariadne; that callyope had asked for her and that the message had been urgent; her spirit name in the mouth of her son; this child of samani who had spoken of these shades upon the water and that one had called him spirit-talker.

and all who looked upon the face of kukutux would already see the frightened dread which had taken root there.

ariadne had been gone for some time, and of higher order was finding nutuyikruk, but her heart dreaded.

two evenings ago, she had set out from the village, leaving it entirely in the care of her doe-daughter, knowing sivullik would return to be beside his wife as well. she kissed akmaaksi and tautupik, saying once more that she would be back.

and now she stood with panuk and aiolos at the quietly beautiful bordering to the forest her sister had once so loved, and called for @Callyope in a strained voice as they crossed over into the weald.
