The Legend of Sarila Page #3

Hey! Stop!

What?

What are we...?

What are we doing here?

Where's Markussi?

What's wrong with you?

You don't remember?

You knocked him out and left him to die.

No!

Markussi is my best friend!

You wouldn't let me go back to help him!

I would never ...

Why can't I remember?

I don't know, Poutulik.

But let's go. Quickly. And find Markussi

Yes. Yes. Of course!

Gah!

Ouch!

Kimi!

Got to move!

Come on!

Pull! Pull!

We have to stop!

- No! Markussi!

I know, but...

- I'm not stopping! My best friend!

We'll all die if we don't take shelter.

Big brother!

I saw you in the shadows.

Mipoulok?

- The hunter's path is long.

Get up!

Apik... no...

Don't...

Shut up, you stupid crow.

You'll get us caught.

We'll feast tonight, Kwatak.

Celebrate our triumph over Markussi.

Ah... wait... I just thought of something.

I got a little surprise for the old hag too.

When the storm breaks, we'll search for Markussi.

Perhaps ... somehow...

Markussi!

- Oh my friend!

Apik!

Apik tells me I knocked you out.

And left you lying there.

- You don't remember?

None of it.

I know you would never do something like that.

It was evil spirits. Acting through you..

But from where? And why?

We must be on our guard.

Quiet.

Good dog.

How did you survive the storm?

- I...

I had a vision.

I saw Apik crying.

I followed her to your safety.

You do have the power of the shaman.

- I'm not a shaman!

I'll tell Akpik about your powers.

She already knows.

You told her first?

This is thievery of the most base kind.

It's a crime against the entire clan!

The guilty one will be punished!

He's still alive?

No!

I want him to die!

To breath his last! To croak! To kick the bucket!

Embrace the eternal tumble downhill!

I know.

I will turn him into a block of ice!

Yes, you're right.

I sort of decided that already, didn't I?

Besides, ice melts in the spring.

I'll turn him to ash!

Enter the final ingredient...

Yes, yes...

Burn! Burn!

Markussi, look!

What's happening?

- I don't know.

It's the spirits!

They are angry at us.

We have to go back to camp.

No!

These are forces of evil

trying to scare us away from Sarila!

Poutulik's right!

Don't be afraid!

Let's go!

Quick! Quick!

Markussi, come back!

No!

A strange smell.

Evil spirits, evil spirits. Avenge me.

Burn the boy who will challenge my power.

Fire spirit, source of heat and death.

Fly to the boy and turn him to ash.

Rid me of Markussi.

Cursed sorceror!

Leave Markussi alone.

- Hands off me!

Sacrilege!

Do something!

Get us out.

Use your powers, shaman!

I'm... I'm not a Sham...!

Yes... you are a shaman!

Ukpik! Ukpik!

Come! Help us!

Markussi ! Poutulik!

Wake up!

We're alive.

Why'd you stop?

We need sleep.

Are you going to wait until morning

to put out that lamp?

Markussi.

Tonight you have used your powers for personal gain.

Is that the kind of a shaman you want to be?

What are you talking about?

You are drawn to Apik.

It is up to her to choose her partner.

But you have a choice too.

You can use your powers for yourself...

... or for the good of the clan.

Be careful which you choose!

You've made a serious accusation.

I saw him pull a bladder filled with blood

out of the water.

And I heard him call forth the fire spirit against Markussi.

Beware of her.

All she wants is...

What? What is this?

The bones of the hare.

I!

She stole the hare!

I've never seen it...

- She violated the clan's trust.

No! Someone put them there!

No! The bones are in your igloo.

Under your caribou hide.

I must...

I have no choice.

I have to call the clan council...

to judge you.

Look out!

What do you think?

- It's a dead end.

Really?

I thought we could just fly across.

Oh no! It's a dead end for sure.

As hunters, we know these things.

Can't make out either end.

Which way should we go?

Ask the bones.

Huh?

- Impossible.

Throw them again!

We can'tt go that way.

Here's what I think of this magic.

If the bones say straight ahead,

then we go straight ahead.

But, Poutulik, there is no way to across.

There is if we fly.

It's taken us half a winter to get here ...

we're not going to waste time going around.

If you want to cross a crevasse ...

don't ask a shaman.

Ask a hunter.

All's safe.

- On my way.

Grab my hand!

I... I can't!

You can. You have to!

Got you!

It's been a good hunt, my friend.

It's not over yet.

Now!

Sarila better be worth it!

Do you have anything to add, Saya?

I am not guilty!

Who will speak in her favour?

She heals my frostbite.

She cares for Mipuluk like a mother.

She does not deserve to be punished!

Saya saved my wife from fever and cured my brother.

She has done much for our clan.

She should be pardoned.

Saya knows the secrets of the plants.

For the good of the clan, we must set her free.

Let those among you that think

she is guilty, raise their hands!

One... two...

Three!

Three against three.

According to tradition, it's up to the Chief

to break a tie vote.

Justice must be done!

You all know of y affection towards Saya.

She's one of the most respected members of our clan

But I have saw proof of this crime...

... with my own eyes.

I am forced to declare

... Saya ... guilty.

No!

It's unfair!

- She was framed.

In keeping with the ways of our ancestors,...

... you are no longer welcome here Saya.

You must leave this community...

to live on your own as punishment for your crime.

No!

Don'tt worry, Mipoulok.

Hauwee will take care of you until

Markussi returns.

First a crevasse. And now a wall?

- And Sarila on the other side.

Then we're going through.

You must have chipped it.

Somewhere?

That's strange.

What did you find?

- Sedna!

Sedna?

Welcome to the Gate to Sarila.

I couldn't have done it without

Poutulik and Apik.

Is he really talking to Sedna?

About us?

Think back on your journey, Markussi.

You may enter Sarila.

You earned it.

Faster!

Faster!

Wait!

Look! Look! Stop!

Wow!

It's wonderful!

It's even better than I imagined!

- We made it.

It's amazing!

- So beautiful!

Berries!

Greens!

- The clan will have a great feast.

Look!

The clan won't believe we brought back

berries this time of year.

Use your spear.

Get out of the way, Markussi!

Why didn't you kill it?

I couldn't! She's pregnant.

We came here to hunt!

Come on in, Kimi.

The water's fine.

You have passed every test, Markussi.

Will you release the animals, Sedna?

Can my clan hunt once again?

You must do one small thing for me.

Tell me.

It will be done.

No! A true Shaman knows what to do.

But... I don't know.

When you return, do what you must.

And the animals will be released.

Sedna!

What does she want?

Markussi!

Markussi!

Apik!

- Huh?

Poutulik!

Be my arms and my strength.

Avenge me!

Stop it silly.

Poutulik! Be careful!

Is he shooting at us?

Quick!

Quick!

What did you...?

- No time! Hurry!

What... what's wrong with Poutulik?

Do you think he's jealous?

I think... Hurry!

Up this way.

Come on.
