Silaluk (sill-a-luck) is a beautiful[1] polar bear spirit with quick, powerful claws[2] and astounding strength.[3] She is portrayed in the Great Bear Legend that rightfully explains the elements of nature around all polar bears.[4]
History
In the Seekers Manga
Kallik's Adventure
- Nisa tells her newborn cubs the story of Silaluk. Perpetually running around the Pathway Star, she hunts during snow-sky. But when the ice melts, she suffers hunger. Silaluk is forced to continue running despite the absence of prey because she is being pursued by three skilled hunters, each armed with a deadly spear. For many moons, throughout the course of burn-sky, Robin, Chickadee, and Moose Bird chase her until the warm days cease to continue.
- As the warmth flourishes weaker, the hunters finally manage to catch up with the great Silaluk. They triumphantly drive their spear tips into the polar bear with fatal blows. Her heart's blood spatters the foliage in autumn colors of red and yellow. Some blood marks Robin's chest, and that explains why that bird currently has a red breast. Silaluk perishes at the mercy of the hunters, but is reborn when snow-sky returns and the ice has come back.
- The ice-hunt continues as another year has begun until again Silaluk gets killed, and cycle continues over and over again.
