Answer: Greysand

Moonwater's husband was said to die according to a prophecy. Moonwater refused to let this happen and she didn't want the prophecy to be true. She thought of many ways to save her husband when he went to war, but she couldn't think of anything at all that could save him.

She went to the Seer-of-all-things to find the answer she was seeking for. He told her to get firestones and make a necklace out of them. But, the firestones were being guarded by a creature known as Grimako and he would eat you unless you sang a song while passing by his territory.

The reason why the Seer-of-all-things told her to get firestones was because firestones were enchanted and they would protect someone from getting killed in a battle. At the end of the story, Moonwater succeeded and she brought her husband a necklace with one firestone attached to it.

He wore it when he went to battle and he returned home to his wife alive.
