Duskfire Glacier Sunnguvuk

The question he had offered her had unlocked the words from within her. Issorartuyok watched her carefully from the edge of his eyes as the young girl went on to talk about several members of her village who would be able to teach her the ways of a protector. She mentioned a few concerning features about a wolf named Mahler, but the northerner only nodded his head solemnly.

It can be a challenge to be a strong man if illness has its claim on you, he explained to the pale young woman carefully.

When Heda asked him if he was the leader of the glacier, Issorartuyok slowed his pace and turned his dark muzzle toward her. He chuckled warmly, unbothered by her questions, unbothered by the presence of such an adventurous spirit. It delighted him that she considered returning to the glacier to learn.

I am not the leader, no. I am a new member to this village. If you would like to learn, I will teach you the honor in defending your home.
