Nocturne Summit ikuallaaktuk ⩛

karmic justice was the last thing on arcturus' mind as he helped kukutux stand. together their voices threaded to the sky -- he kept an ear turned to the icy wind, and heard no call in return.

silence and death rained down on the earth in answer.

arcturus moved in quiet shock, the way survivors often do. he lead kukutux along old pathways by default. he might have been pleased at how easily it all came back to him, were it not for the fact he was almost as shell-shocked as his companion. his legs took a mind of their own, while his mind drifted to scenes of his family.

one by one, they fell and their faces faded away.

and yet, the mountain still stood.
