He felt inexplicably as if he'd lost something precious when she pulled away. The whole of his time on the glacier had felt as if it were meant to be, and it hurt to have that challenged in this way. What could he be sure of, if he could not trust himself?

But Tulugak spoke true. What had happened was what would always have happened. He said: "Then I was meant to meet you," with a truer smile on his face. "As I am now meant to say goodbye." She jested, and he jested back, calling after her: "As I am meant to challenge you to a much needed rematch, the next time I see you!"

But soon enough, her pale figure was gone.

Dutch stood alone, his heart beating too hard in his chest. He turned and began limping his way back to the glacier, until, on the next rise, he looked back for her again. She wasn't there, of course, except she was, wasn't she? In a way. He just wouldn't see her anymore.

The panther stood tall on the hillside and sang as he intended to sing each equinox:

"We couldn't wait for dawn to break
You must be on your way
And before I hear your voice again
Be many a long, dark day,

"One kiss before you leave me,
And one more for the wind.
Every day I'll hope and pray
I see your face again."
