Her waist was of coarse brown cloth fastened under a skirt of deerskin, and her shoulders and arms were bare.
Her thick light hair was coiled on the top of her head and had many bone and bronze pins in it.
Around her neck were beads of amber, bone and glass, and a necklace made from the teeth of wolves.
On her arms and legs she wore wide bronze bracelets. She was very proud of them, because not many women among the Lake-Dwellers had bracelets made of bronze.
Lodrix’s father, the chief of the Dormorants, was a very brave man.
His people loved him and always obeyed him.
One day, when the chief and his son were on the lake fishing, they heard the sound of a horn.
Lodrix listened, then said, “That is mother’s call; she must need us.”
