Moonspear amends

Njord was tracking winter hare with @Stingray when he heard Sialuk’s powerful voice. Her melody sang a statement and a promise: Moonspear was hers – theirs – and this village would grow.

Complicated emotions set their anchor in Njord’s harbor but, despite this, he felt a glimmer of optimism. Meerkat and Stingray… they were safe. They now lived with those who shared, instead of bartered, trust and respect. His gaze drifted down to Stingray. Their son would lead a good life. If only Swordfish could be here, too...

Meerkat sang… and then a new voice. It was a sign of greater things to come. Their village would grow.

Njord’s head bent back as he added his own baritone to their chorus, thankful for the many blessings in his life.
