Moonspear you could turn my sorrow into song

Njord looked at the lonely piece of dark stone between his paws. It felt like a manifestation of every sorrow and regret. To place it down meant Njord’s heart felt a pound lighter, though the idea – the finality – of making a headstone for Sobo was still so surreal.

Suddenly, a small green glimmer refracted against one of the cornerstone’s facets. Njord squinted. Was it the water in his eyes making him see things? Then, the white snow around him appeared to become illuminated.

Njord looked at the night sky in awe as streams of colored light undulated like a great sea. Rivers of teal, purple, and blue danced and gleamed. Shocked, his head turned around to Meerkat, who looked just as astonished. He had never seen anything so beautiful!

Njord’s eyes gazed back down at the stone. A strong, supernatural, feeling flowed through him. Like they were in the presence of something much larger than themselves.

Quickly, he gathered the next stone. Then, he added one Meerkat discovered. Then, another. And another. Until a small tower of flint-colored rock was formed, its edges kissed by Borealis light.
