People sleep outside near big water. No warm-light, no cool-wind for many suns. Bad dark spirit makes tribe hot.
Big dark spirit comes again and again to shiny-rock village, six times now! Fire-lights go sleep for long time, long like two suns joined, maybe even more. People cannot sleep in cave, too hot! They go outside, sleep near big water, feel cool-wind from ocean. Many sleeps now with this dark spirit making tribe tired.
This makes hunt hard, makes food spoil quick! Cold-box no work, fresh-meat go bad fast. Little-fire for cooking no always there, stomachs rumble with hunger. Big Chief from far-away land makes tribe sad, stops shiny-rock power flow, makes life harder for all.
### Local Commentary
"Ugh, fire-light go out again! My berry-juice gets warm too fast. Can't see to pick good berries in the dark!"
- Zorp, local berry picker
"I saw many folk sleep on hard stone near big water. No roar of fast-beast, no buzz from big magic-box. Just dark and hot, many, many hours."
- Korg, mammoth hunter
"We must keep strong, tribe. We seek new ways for fire-light, maybe from sky-ball. We send strong words to big chief far away, ask for more shiny-rock power."
- Elder Ona, keeper of tribal wisdom
