Herbert's sleepy

The merchant who found this Artifact of HMMM... for me is a gargantuan tortoise who lives high upon an ice crag named Craig (the crag’s name is Craig, the gargantuan tortoise’s name is Herbert. Herbert is a great guy, I’ve never met Craig, but he has a rather impressive crag named after him, and Herbert says he’s alright). Craig Crag is climbable, but a long journey, and I arrived as the sun was setting; the sky and the crag were deepening shades of blue, and swirls of pink clouds reflected, iridescent, in the frozen pond that Herbert lives beside. He waved me over and held the Artifact out to me in his huge and nimble tortoise toes. I thanked him and said, “the colors of this Artifact remind me of your frozen home during this particular beautiful sunset.” He replied, “I am usually asleep by now”.
