Another sister, dead.
The world, still turning despite the desert it would become, because cloudwater woman was gone. With her had gone the pathmaker she had only greeted distantly. And Vairë let the anger scorch her into a desert herself, refused to let the grief fester when the anger could burn. Let it burn out the rot.
Her anger swung on a pendulum, before settling on the caribou man.
In her heart, she had no doubt. It was his fault, he who brought his shadow here to harm the women of Moonglow. Had he swung his fist in anger at the mountain as he ran? Had he cursed them?
Festering, burning.
She didn’t know what she was doing, only that her sallow face stared at Kigipigak, and her sunfire raged in her riverstone gaze.

Winterhawk man.
