  • The
  • big
  • eaters
  • were
  • removed
  • by
  • Little
  • Bird.
  • Before
  • this,
  • time
  • was
  • only,
  • ‘you
  • feed,
  • or
  • you
  • are
  • the
  • feed.’
  • The
  • two
  • valleys
  • continue
  • to
  • grow
  • with
  • no
  • threats
  • other
  • than
  • the
  • white
  • cold
  • which
  • comes
  • when
  • it
  • comes.
  • Little
  • Bird
  • starts
  • a
  • marking
  • wall
  • to
  • account
  • for
  • important
  • events.
  • It
  • starts
  • to
  • account
  • for
  • only
  • the
  • most
  • basic
  • of
  • ideas.
  • The
  • concept
  • of
  • time
  • and
  • dates
  • is
  • not
  • understood
  • in
  • these
  • early
  • days
  • until
  • the
  • big
  • eaters
  • were
  • removed. Centuries
  • pass
  • by
  • and
  • a
  • young
  • female
  • with
  • no
  • name
  • is
  • about
  • to
  • be
  • given
  • a
  • name.
  • She
  • wonders
  • about
  • all
  • things
  • and
  • finds
  • that
  • Little
  • Bird’s
  • marking
  • wall
  • has
  • been
  • replaced
  • with
  • a
  • new
  • one.
  • Only
  • the
  • old
  • ones
  • know
  • of
  • the
  • old
  • wall
  • and
  • its
  • ancient
  • beginnings.
  • Young
  • Bird
  • with
  • her
  • new
  • name
  • creates
  • a
  • system
  • that
  • starts
  • using
  • the
  • time
  • marks
  • on
  • the
  • new
  • wall.
  • She
  • sees
  • that
  • the
  • valleys
  • are
  • incredibly
  • old. The
  • mountain
  • they
  • live
  • on
  • is
  • slowing
  • down
  • and
  • may
  • soon
  • not
  • produce
  • items
  • needed
  • to
  • live.
  • It
  • is
  • not
  • clear
  • to
  • Young
  • Bird
  • who
  • her
  • ancient
  • mother
  • may
  • be. Young
  • Bird
  • sails
  • upon
  • the
  • wetness
  • even
  • though
  • the
  • Council
  • forbade
  • it.
  • After
  • many
  • lights
  • of
  • travel,
  • she
  • discoveries
  • a
  • family
  • unknown
  • to
  • anyone
  • in
  • her
  • two
  • valleys. The
  • family
  • is
  • only
  • 100
  • members.
  • The
  • land
  • and
  • wetness
  • will
  • support
  • no
  • more.
  • Young
  • Bird
  • diverts
  • some
  • wetness
  • back
  • into
  • its
  • former
  • course
  • for
  • the
  • family.
  • The
  • family
  • works
  • the
  • land
  • rather
  • than
  • chasing
  • the
  • herd
  • as
  • they
  • have
  • done
  • for
  • eons
  • of
  • time.
  • Young
  • Bird
  • returns
  • to
  • her
  • valleys
  • with
  • new
  • knowledge. Will
  • these
  • two
  • groups
  • be
  • able
  • to
  • survive,
  • even
  • together,
  • as
  • the
  • mountain
  • changes
  • and
  • the
  • cold
  • white
  • stays
  • longer
  • every cycle.
