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.
