Moonspear prophecy girl

"i did not hunt when i was your age. i earned that here, in this land." she did not mention that she had been alone with astaroth, for by now she had surely prevailed upon sialuk how unseemly that was. married women did not keep company with men of their own age. arcturus and revui did not count against that, she told herself, face heating with shame. unmarried brothers were still kin.

"but now i hunt, and you must too, pukak," kukutux instructed. "though not today. it is too filled with rain." she shook out her fur again, nudged the girl. "we will go to find your taataa now." hunger now, energy needed to answer the questions sialuk enjoyed asking en masse, and a sweet thing in her mother's heart as well to give knowledge.
