Moonsong Glacier as daddy rises and momma sets

This is a one-post howl, but feel free to tag Dutch in any follow-up threads you think may need to take place. @Leith @Towhee Jr @Fallen Sun @Sulukinak @Chakliux @Kukutux @Rodyn @Heph @Shikoba @Vairë and anyone else who happens to be in the area, if you want.

Things had stabilized, for the most part. They were still small in number, but Dutch would do his best to see them through. He came to the foothills that day with only the faintest ache in his hip, and after a long time standing and breathing in the winter air, he tipped back his head:

The moon has set,
and so the sun must rise.
M o r n i n g s o n g 
draws her first breath in melody.

His deep baritone echoed back to him from afar, but the chief listened now for other voices to join him. He wondered if his voice would reach @Sialuk and @Alaric, but even if it did not, he was sure that word would somehow travel. In the meantime, he turned his attention to what lay inside his territory.

There was always more work to be done.
