Moonsong Glacier we see the exact same sunrise

For @Fallen Sun first and foremost

The fur along the panther's spine stood on end. The rotted-meat reek was familiar to him, and sent a pang of hurt through the claw marks still scarring on his hip. He didn't know what this one was doing awake, but it had passed their borders not long ago. The snow was still melted in its tracks.

He might not have been so worried if he hadn't been thinking of dark spirits more and more, as of late. This was a different bear than the one he and Chakliux had encountered, but still. Perhaps the evil one had the ability to summon any bear, any time.

Why wasn't he wearing the talisman???

There was no time to go back and get it. Dutch circled wide around where he thought the bear could be, so that he stood between it and the greater territory. He prowled along, then, reluctant to call out to the rest of the pack and put them in harm's way. And when he spied it — it was only a small bear; female, sub-adult.

The panther charged forward with a volley of barks, hoping to scare the creature away on his own. And scare it did, although it only ran a few dozen yards before slowing, and looking back at him. Calling his bluff, perhaps, because Dutch had no intention of getting within reach of it. Still, he stood his ground, fur standing on end, and growled low and threatening in the bear's direction.

It lingered, sizing him up.
