Moonspear run away

There was a wary look on the woman’s face when she turned, her aging features taking Tiuttuk by surprise. She thought fleetingly of her grandparents and ducked her head in an instinctive display of respect. The she-wolf introduced herself as Haedwig before stepping out of the den to properly acquaint with the Ostrega.

The question earned a flickering smile from Pie as she admitted, Sort of yes, sort of no. I was already living here when Katmai was searching for a territory to claim. I suggested the mountain. There was a village here before, but it had disbanded. I’m glad for the opportunity to rebuild.

Her yellow eyes skirted past the woman’s slightly grubby shoulder, toward the mouth of the cave. She realized Haedwig must be stashing herbs. Her heart skipped a beat. The healing ulaq was now nothing more than a memory, like Sialuk’s Moonspear, but this was a promising sign of a brighter future.

I followed my nose here. Are you a healer? Treepie guessed.
