Bitterroot Valley katmiksuk ⦕

hoping for @Tuuluuwaq :D

it was only she and @Sialuk for now.

she splashed water over her bloodied fur from a hole cut in the ice of the river. it snaked against the edge of the valley. caribou stood in small herds here and there; further downstream they crowded against the water, watchful of the pale wolves.

kukutux watched the stain move away from her fur. "it is your first winter hunting. but it is not your first time living in the ulax of snow."
