The complete description

FIRST CYCLE / FAUNA / COMPANION
FC14
Nightwater echo newt
The Nightwater Cistern
Kind #61 / weather-organ-nightwater-echo-newt
On the warm rim
A side view shows the dark-blue body
and silver speckles above the water.
Pale-throat detail
The light throat and webbed feet
remain visible in a closer, alert pose.
An unhurried rest
The newt settles low against the warm
stone, with no need to answer.
Three illustrative views of one imagined kind; not life stages. Images are not to a common scale.
Habitat
Appearance & role
Warm rim stones above the surface cistern's imagined
water. The echo newt prefers an unhurried perch and
may remain quiet for a whole visit.
A small dark-blue amphibian with a pale throat, silver
side-speckles and four webbed feet. Its home is beside
the water, unlike the underground glass echo eel.
Character & musical voice
After a phrase finishes, it lets another whole phrase pass before offering a soft contour of its own. A fictional hum; a
companion rather than an instrument or timer.
