“It’s strange, is it not?” Snowcloud asked, her white hair and green eyes sparkling beneath the twin moons.

“What?” Echo, son of Stillbreeze and Vineweaver, now a young man himself turned to face his female friend. “Is what strange?”

“All of this,” she gestured around her. “We make up several tribes now, as one. And among us is a human,” she pointed to Buren, who had become Stream’s lovemate and together they’d had a childlike never seen before. “Do you think their child, Stonecutter, will be accepted in the world? He has the round face of a human, five fingers like a human, but the ears and eyes are definitely elf-like.”

“He will be accepted in our tribe,” Echo said, his brown hair blowing gently in the wind, while his green eyes met with hers. “We all accept him already, no matter how he looks.”

“Do you think he will have magic? Like Stream? Be a healer?” she asked.

“I,” Echo paused. He hadn’t given that much consideration. “I don’t know.”

“I’ve heard the stories about the half-troll,” Snowcloud said, putting her hair behind her ear.

“He wasn’t a half-troll,” Echo corrected her. “His name was Trollblade – or Trollhammer, as he was called later. He even took up the name Trollforge after that. He was a High One. When the Palace crashed, he’d taken the form of a troll to hide among them. And found that years of being in a troll form, he could not shape back to his normal form. He began to quickly learn from the trolls, even aging slower than them. He learned their craft and became an expert. After many hundreds of moons had gone by and he made contact with my father’s tribe, he became the spokesman for the trolls and was the sole reason that the trolls and my father’s tribe learned to get along.”

“He Recognized your aunt, Purespring did he not?” Snowcloud leaned in close to Echo.

“Yes,” Echo remembered hearing the stories. “But she had not been able to Recognize him. His magic had altered him in such a way that when she saw him, she only saw the troll that he’d become. But for him, he ached for her – but,” he turned to her, his lips almost touched hers, to his surprise, as he pulled his head back slightly, “There is no cure for Recognition.”

“Do you think that Stonecutter will ever be able to Recognize?” she asked, trying again to lean close to him.

Echo scooted a little to the left to be further away, escaping what appeared to be her attempts to kiss him. They’d grown up as friends over the last few years – was she feeling something more now?

Just then, Stillbreeze road up the stony path, howling with joy, having returned from the hunt.

“Oh, perfect,” Echo said, clearing his throat. “It’s time to feast!” And he quickly stood up and made his way towards the center of Stonehowl.

Snowcloud heaved a deep sigh as she watched him walk away.
