Whitebark Stream the last of her tribe

AW! she will hopefully be joining saatsine buuut anyone is welcome. @Sun Eater ping for visibility!

loneliness wasn't something black hawk knew, and it was stifling. overwhelming. she'd always been surrounded kin; there wasn't a moment in her life where she could remember ever truly being alone. it infuriates her, as a woman who'd stare into the eyes of death and not waver, was terrified of this. 

and yet, she would endure. she would survive, as she was lanzadoii. it was within her blood to conquer and to persevere. but she was mourning. her clan, her tribe, her family, all fallen to a sickness she'd escaped. 

she had to bury their bodies one by one, and wondered for many moons on a journey to grieve. their deaths still stung, as that wound wouldn't so quickly heal, but she was able to move forward. to return to familiar lands in hopes of reuniting with lanzadoii kin and finding a new home. 

a new tribe. 

she'd been following a small herd of caribou, stepping within their prints in the snow. sleeping when they slept, then moving when they moved. hoping they would lead her home.
