Metro.Style, on the other hand, is the fastest-growing lifestyle website in the country that’s also been gaining global reach. With this milestone, Star Magic and ABS-CBN entertainment production head Laurenti Dyogi announced their dream “to grow bigger and go global,” as they will strive to bring their artists opportunities to perform alongside the best in the world. The girl saw it too, but instead of crying aloud with terror, said quietly, “That is Quiquern.This partnership couldn’t have been more fitting. The air was hazy, and the Thing seemed to be forty feet long and ten feet high, with twenty feet of tail and a shape that quivered all along the outlines. Kotuko laid up a snow-house large enough to take in the hand-sleigh (never be separated from your meat), and while he was shaping the last irregular block of ice that makes the key-stone of the roof, he saw a Thing looking at him from a little cliff of ice half a mile away. A Polar storm can blow for ten days without a break, and all that while it is certain death to be abroad. They had trapped nothing, and seen no trace of game since they had left the village their food would not hold out for another week, and there was a gale coming.
It might have been the Ten-legged White Spirit–Bear himself, or it might have been anything, for Kotuko and the girl were so starved that their eyes were untrustworthy. It was certainly not human, but everybody knew that the tornait preferred to appear in the shape of bear and seal, and such like. The girl looked where Kotuko pointed, and something seemed to slip into a ravine. She was not surprised, therefore, when at the end of the fourth march Kotuko, whose eyes were burning like fire-balls in his head, told her that his tornaq was following them across the snow in the shape of a two-headed dog. To tell the truth, Kotuko was very nearly crazy for the time being but the girl was sure that he was being guided by his guardian spirit, and that everything would come right. He would declare that he heard the tornaq growling to him, and would run wildly up a hummock, tossing his arms and speaking in loud, threatening tones. The girl was always very silent, but Kotuko muttered to himself and broke out into songs he had learned in the Singing–House - summer songs, and reindeer and salmon songs - all horribly out of place at that season. And through this silence and through this waste, where the sudden lights flapped and went out again, the sleigh and the two that pulled it crawled like things in a nightmare - a nightmare of the end of the world at the end of the world. Their voices rise and fall with the frozen wind. As they descend, they sing songs of magic, songs buried deep in their memories, in their blood. As the dark and the cold and hunger devour them, the two children rave and hallucinate, unhinging themselves from the realm of men and into the realm of gods.

This post is about the fourth movement of my piece called “Quiquern”.
