There was a protracted battle. His tribe was scattered throughout the region. He returned to the camp alone. Hungry. Cold.

He spent two days rounding up tools and looking for food. He came upon the body of his sister in the evening of the second day, some two kilometers from the camp.

His grief was overwhelming and he did the best he could. He was not well versed in all the rituals and relied on his memory to do the best he could.
