ESKIMOS : Chapter 1 : BLOOD AND SNOW (Imp and Andrew)

[ImpInTraining]

If Tornuaq didn't grab the knife and wrap it in something, Unulaq will. He'll take some of the skin that Tornuaq pealed off of the shapeshifter and wrap that around the knife before picking it up and sliding it into his boot for storage.

"Hopefully, as long as I do not touch it, it will not hold power over me," Unulaq states.

Tornuaq merely shrugged, he didn't know the answer.

Just as Unulaq suspected, the water rises quickly as the giant waves roll onto the beach, one after another. The ocean reaches the Beluga and soon the whales are swimming freely, edging themselves back into the open water. A few linger for a short while and sing out, eying the two Dorset warriors. Just after noon, the two brothers watch the sun begin to set over the horizon. The colors boucing off the whale and the ocean are spectacular to see. The corpse of the Ijiirat floats slowly out to see and sinks. The Belugas ignore this before they too disappear into the icy depths.

The pale faced stranger stirs once again and he screams out in fear or pain.... neither brother could tell for he spoke a tongue so native and harsh he seemed to spit and hack his own words. The stranger then quickly slips back into his restful sleep and every so often Unulaq and Tornuaq hear him weep.
