"Nanouk! You're back!" A small child ran towards Nanouk and hugged her as tight as they could. Nanouk smiled and gave the child a pat on their head as an old man walked towards her, using a walking cane to support himself.
"Welcome back, young Nanouk. I see you managed to get some rations?"
"Yup, should be enough to keep everyone fed." Nanouk smiled as she put her mittens back on, looking around the wasteland as she gave the rations to the old man. "Did any trouble show up whilst I was gone?"
"Not yet, but there are signs of raiders. It would mean a lot to us if you could help us."
"Of course, I'll be back soon." Nanouk made the child stop hugging her and grabbed her spear, walking to the direction in which the family elder pointed. She withheld a sigh, she didn't like violence but she loved her family more than she disliked violence. After travelling for a while, she found the raiders. "Hey there!"
The raiders looked at the newcomer and laughed, did this girl really think that she could face them all? The presumed leader of the raiders walked over towards Nanouk and towered over her, which really was not that impressive given Nanouk was not that tall to begin with. "Well well well, isn't this a nice little surprise? Most people run when they find that we are around." She chuckled, her group of raiders following her example.
"We won't run, and I am not letting you harass my family." Nanouk slammed her spear on the ground, causing a row of ice spikes to sprout from the ground and forcing the raiders to dodge as they watched their leader get impaled. "This was a warning, now leave." She threatened the raiders, and they knew better than to mess with someone with powers.
"We-we'll get revenge! Just you wait!" One of the raiders shouted at Nanouk as they retreated, whilst she just shrugged and made her way back to her family. The murder left a bitter taste in her mouth, but it was a necessary evil. If only she could find a way to make the world a bit of a better place...
