each day was given over to traveling.

each hour belonged to the caribou spirits and their entreatment. tufts of their fallen fur were carefully collected, added to the amulet he meant to use against his wife. the one which also would locate the children she had taken.

they had been named lanzadoii, born to his name and his lineage. ice raven's voice whispered in dreams, speaking of mountainhome and blood on the taiga.

a wildwood forest spilled against terraces of granite; rivers cut through the hinterland wetgrass. and north, the glittering sea lapping foam to a beach of pale sand. and all, interminably, were the caribou, gathering in small groups or larger herds as they moved between beachfront and deepweald.

it was a bountiful region, and he looked forward to its exploration. for now he directed his kin to settle inside the fringeline of the shadowforest. he sought @Nutuyikruk next, murmuring upon what he had spoken: freedom for the location of @Sulukinak. offering her a traveling-cake of chewed caribou meat with crushed roots, chieftain thus sent moongirl into her own journey.

c'ede' was kept close as usual, a boy growing into the strength of his clan.

and it would be c'ede's little eyes which first beheld the great and glimmering sea. "a woman of the muradoii gave you life when your own abandoned you, my son. you must always honor her." kusax̱asaa whispered, spreading out caribou-hide upon sand and allowing the boy to witness the birthright bestowed upon him too by sivaak's milk.
