Nocturne Summit ikuallaaktuk ⩛

dissolving into a cough, kukutux spat blood from her irritated throat and inhaled another cursed breath. nothing more had returned to her. a shaking frame she turned toward the dark and familiar creature; "jarilo?" kukutux rasped hopefully, though even as she spoke she knew the word was incorrect.

it was not the studious gaze of her husband, only the worried strain of the mountainwolf's visage. arcturus. his name did not come to her aloud, and kukutux lay down heavily in the snow, tucking her injured leg close. 

and her gaze returned to moonspear. saviguk. sialuk. jarilo. her muscles tensed but would not respond to the attempted lift of her bruised frame. 

arcturus. 

kukutux breathed in again. "your sister no longer lives." whether it was her or hydra she meant was unsaid.
