Meeting Nova and Esther.

[copperhead]

 

• While coming down from the mountains to get a drink from the lake near the tribal lands, I met Nova, Esther, and Silvertip.
• Nova is Uktena kin. Even though she is homid-born, the tribe's blood clearly runs strong in her veins. I told her I was at her disposal: Her life is more valuable to the tribe than mine because she can give birth to Uktena with a strong bloodline--and I am the end of my lineage.
• Esther is Wendigo, cliath, and ahroun. I do not think she likes me. I do not blame her.
• Silvertip acknowledged that I had helped him. It would be prideful to openly express my joy and gratitude, so I will not.
• Nova brought rabbits she caught with a trap. I am confused. Are the young cliaths here unable to hunt for themselves?
• Silvertip suggested that I go find Little Crow and teach her gifts so that I can complete my chiminage. Have I proven myself worthy enough to him that he now encourages me to join the sept?
• I felt out of place talking to the homid kin, just as I always have in the past. I returned to the mountains
• My life has no worth beyond whatever service I may provide to Gaia.
