kukutux began to tell the tangled stories. she told lane of first finding nuak, of how she had keenly believed he was her kith. that she had taken him home to moonglow and given him meat and a name.

that the tupilak had come for him, and that not only had he run away with her, he had stolen a sacred object from kukutux. 

but this had not been enough for nuak or the demon. kukutux described how they had come back again, to rob and to break and to steal. how the red demon had been caught and held and punished by all of moonglow, that kukutux had torn out a grave piece of her tongue. and how nuak had become prisoner of moonglow through the long and hot days of summer. 

lastly, then, that the demon girl and another boy had come to plead that nuak be released, but he had been kept and scarred by moonglow for his crimes before he was finally allowed to run from them.

long after she had begun speaking, kukutux was at last silent.
