Descending Fire 15,
*the sun rose slowly from the horizon and light swept across the earth, revealing Kumako as she exited the trees of a nearby forest. In her hand was the tusk of a boar, still connected to the body that hung over her back. It's throat was slit and the blood already drained in the appropriate ritual to Luna, and as soon as she skinned it, Kumako would start breakfast. This boar had a nice pelt and would make a fine material for some new clothes for either her or her brother.
Skillful knife swipes had the pig naked in no time, its muscle bared against the air. Into the kitchen she went, rubbing it down with spices before putting it on the spit and starting the fire. She got to work on treating the organs and stretching the hide for tanning, amused that her brother was still sleeping. She should wake him up so he could get started before the day had peaked, but she figured he could wait until food was ready*
