"Will entering this hut help you?" Aglakti asks, concerned for the poor bear god.

The Bear God doesn't answer. The dark tendrils quickly cover his face and then the Shadow Bear rises and roars. Pandoval backs away shivering. The Shadow Bear rises onto it's hind legs and swats at the snow at the door to the Shaman's hut.

He then turns and runs into the night. Inside the hut where Nanook had rested his head, a large crystaline tear drop lies sparkling in the moon light.

Aglakti swears she hears Aningan , the moon, laughing.

Aglakti fetches the tear drop.

Aglakti can feel the warming energy of the tear drop crystal in her hands. It feels similar to her healing energies when she uses her Shaman gifts to cure the sick. Pandoval, still shaken approaches and sniffs the crystal in Aglakti's hands

A droplet from the gods... Mother says that water from the gods is sacred. Even their pee....

Pandoval nods his head

It's true... I asked momma and she said it was true...

"I'm so glad you're safe," she murmured, enfolding Pandoval in a hug. "You matter the most... But tell me, what is our plan now? How shall we defeat our enemy?"

Momma will know!

Pandoval nuzzles up to Aglakti as the world around them begins to fade.
