It is a time of edges

The Querulous Megapode has reached the end of it's long race. It's been a long Year, and not always a good one, but it's run it's course, and can rest now. Before it settles down to build a nest somewhere in Klatch, though, it has one thing to do.

...

The cottage is scrupulously clean; it doesn't do to welcome the new year with the debris of the old one lying around. Not everyone agrees on that point*, but it's always done for her. The cottage is clean, and quiet, and Granny Weatherwax is waiting.

...

As the sun sinks behind the mountains for the last time in the Megapode's very own Year, the Querulous Megapode picks it's way across the track to the cottage. Along the way, it meets a Moribund Aardvark, and they have the sort of discussion that only Years can have. Together, they make their way to the cottage, and before either one can rap on the door, it swings open.

Granny Weatherwax stands in the door with her pointy hat and her plumbline-straight spine. The Megapode, panting a little from the exertion of getting here, bows a bit.

"Took you long enough," she says. The Megapode fluffs it's feathers defensively. Granny Weatherwax regards it, then turns to the Aardvark. She takes a deep breath and carefully does not roll her eyes.

"Blessings," she intones, "Upon This Year. Now git."

And they do.

...

*At Tir Nani Ogg down the mountain, the party was really just getting started. Scumble and shrapnel would be all over the place tomorrow for the battalion of daughters-in-law to clean up, but for now, Nanny was doing a jig on top of the table and inventing new verses for The Hedgehog Song.
