The Only Way Past Is Through

Unujaak told you to come, didn't he? He was the one who helped me find Ipko when I became a hunter--or, rather, helped Ipko find me. They choose and we are chosen. He is hurting. Everyone is hurting because of me. I know that they need me to lead, but I have been half of a leader without her. If I couldn't protect her, how can I protect all of Uktulut? <He takes a deep breath.> I cannot forgive myself. But I cannot let that weight keep me from putting at least one foot on the path I must walk.
