With @Meerkat, @Njord, and @Stingray here upon the spear, it began to feel as if the village were rebuilding itself. With the addition of @Keen, the raindrop knew it to be true. Soon, Sialuk would find a man to warm her bed and raise her sons and daughters, but for now, the mountain called to her. It reached into her heart and pulled out a song for all to hear.
"This mountain belongs to Sialuk Ostrega," it said. "And all those who make this village their home." She felt, for the first time, the spear sing through her, and it was a momentous occasion indeed. It was not unlike all those nights she had sung for the dead, singing them to the dancing lights where they would wait for her. She knew also that Tulukiri would be there in days to come, and Sialuk sang for her, too. A mournful note on the end of a triumphant proclaimation.
