"Pray with me Qhoto axeman, Child of Tehk'aht.." He places his free hand on Qhoto's head like a benediction, lowering his head and intoning an intense, yet reverent prayer.
"We are the children of Tehk'aht. We speak with tehk on our tongue and love with k'aht in our qhet. We follow the path Tehk'aht has laid before us, trusting in your guidance and our purpose upon it. Grant us the strength to withstand this storm so that we may continue that path, to the best of our ability. That we might shelter those less able from the tribulations of this world. We have only two hands and one qhet to offer, but the more paths we walk the closer to you we become. We thank you for that chance and for however many summers you see fit to grant us. May our qhet shine so that all may know us as your children, as we walk in your light.. Tehk'aht sing our steps, this day and all days.. Qha'vhen."
