Shepherd of the False Dawn
For three mornings, dawn has arrived twice—first pale and wrong, then true. Sheep that graze during the false dawn speak in riddles; wolves have stopped hunting entirely. Escort a nervous shepherd to the hill where light arrives too early, discover what is rehearsing the sunrise, and restore one dawn per day.
