Fly ahead
"This is no time to be wandering off like that, Skana! Look at that storm!", she heard her brother calling after her as she threw a rolled up blanket on to Belugas back while moving away from the huts of her family. The falcon on her shoulder flapped impatiently. 
"I'll be fine, brother, I'll be back in no time", she responded unconcerned and tossed him a quick smile.
"I'll just go check out that place where I last found the bear prints! You'll see, it won't take me until tomorrow's sundown!"
And gone she was.

The freezing wind slapped her face. The weather was so violent that she decided to walk beside the Tokota in order to ease their movement. Tharlen, her falcon companion puffed up his plumage and ducked his head into his shoulders.
It was dark and dangerous and few would have decided for such a time to venture about. The wind was howling and dragging them to all sides; the trio advanced ever so slowly.

And yet suddenly, just when the village was nearly out of sight, the wind stopped and the clouds fled in obedience as if someone had cleared the sky. Human, tokota and falcon looked up in awe.
It's the ancient spirits, Skana thought. They are benevolent today.
There was a chance now that she might still find those bear tracks she had seen several days ago.

"Fly ahead Tharlen!" she called and pushed the bird into the air. Only a few effortless flaps and he was up high above their heads.
"Find the tracks and lead us there!"
The falcon let out a piercing screech and then, without looking back, vanished into Alaska's eternal white.
