They assembled a whole #gingerbread village. Shops and houses coated with snow made of sugar icing. People and pets fashioned with extraordinary detail. The Winter Queen breathed life into them in a ceremony. The townsfolk cheered and clapped at the start of the celebrations.

The #aurora brightened up the sky in a dazzling array of colours. Crowds gathered at the rooftops and hills. Hawkers sold food, drink and tokens to celebrate the occasion.
The mages studied the phenomenon and kept that knowledge from the common man.

Did you think all fairies cast with #sparkles and pretty lights? All Bards play with lyres and soft flutes? All wizards speak incantations in ancient tongues?
No one expects the fairy with hellfire, the Bard with the electric screeching and the wizard's words of "Burn it."

They hung their #wreath on the door. It displayed the typical items of the season: evergreens, pine cones, tiny presents. But if you looked carefully, they added protective sprigs of mistletoe and herbs to ward off evil. Sage, rosemary. They added a glow of enchantment for good measure.

The voices lifted up in song. #Carols varied in tune, in language and in tempo, but they all conveyed the same ideas. A hymn to winter, and salvation through the long nights.
The Ice Queen heard them and smiled thinly.

The old clans crossed the great #glacier from the North. They settled into the warm, fertile lands of the south. As the Ice Age neared its end, that massive bridge melted into the sea. The flood wiped any history between the two peoples. A thousand years later, they met again.

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.
