The #star in the heavens shone brightly for all to see. Sailors used it to steer their way home. Wanderers followed it and found shelter from the snow. Mystics studied it and wrote down their findings.
She found it as a simple nightly friend who brightened a very dark night.

She made her home in the #evergreen forest, away from prying eyes. A solitary cabin, next to the clean water of the river, and a garden for food in the back. Every month she trekked to town for supplies, but that was all. And she was content.

The #icicles grew on windows and doors of the castle. It was almost a full-time job to melt them away. No one wanted to be the victim of a stabbing...by a pointed shaft of ice.
As winter dragged on, they realized the icicles spread farther and faster. They began to encase the walls.

The #blizzard lasted several days. Snow fell thickly all around and ice coated every stone in the courtyard. But the Lady had prepared for this. There was more than enough firewood, food, water and supplies for everyone in the keep, including the animals. She took care of her people.

It was the first #snowfall. The children raced outside to play, accompanied by their demon hounds. The sorceress smiled; she had no qualms about trusting their safety to their loyal familiars.
"Looks like the weather vane was correct, as always."
She smiled at her husband. "Yes."

Light a #candle
stare into the flame
what do you see?
The gleam of a mystic sword
the fire of a wizard's staff
the beating heart of
a lovelorn princess
it can be anything, anyone
you want it to be.
The possibilities are
endless.

A welcoming fire in the hearth, a spread of food on the table. The harvest was good this year and the household rejoiced.
The lady of the manor made sure everything was perfect. After all, it was a time of plenty. Sorrow could wait a little while longer.

Pacts were #binding, and obligation was not only expected, but the only way to survive. Although her House elders questioned the motivation, they threw their lot with the rebels.
If they were wiped out, at least they had their honor in the afterlife. It certainly didn't help the living.

The #mist lay heavy on the shore. The lighthouse stood hidden, its beam swallowed up by fog. The keeper heard the distant roar of the sea dragon, but couldn't see it.
"Well, I was wondering when you'd come round. It's been a while, old friend."

once a year
loses to Spring
withdraws and rests
gathers its power

There should have been fog or mist, but there was only the cool night air, clear skies, and the shadow of a hound. Diana’s lithe hound, no longer a gamboling companion, but a sleek hunter, only a shadow on the overgrown lawns as she moves deeper into the trees of Shakespeare’s garden. #VssFantasy

"What is that?"
"It's called the #runeheart. See those carvings? Those unlock a special power. They say a princess took the heart of her slain beloved and made his heart a vessel of arcane magic."
"And what will you do with it?"
She smiled as it glowed. "You'll see."
