Summary: A shadow-shape is watching.
Glum weather; rain smudges the contours of the village fires and the light streaming out through cracks in huts, from cave mouths. Songs rising demand that the falling water cease, that it release the stars to keep the shadows at bay.
The watching shadow-shape stirs. It knows the words to those songs, knows them intimately even through the pouring rain; they draw it forward as if on an invisible leash, running down the hills with the rivulets. But even so, it shies away from the fingers of light, from the once-familiar voices, even one fair and once-beloved.
She slinks away.
