Chapter 142 - Before Eternal Sleep

They couldn't give Ahanu a funeral because of their travels and the need to carry the body around, which was highly impractical. So they had to speed up for the wake instead. 

Blank was rather unfamiliar with burial practices of his tribe from being away for so long. But he does remember a few things.
