Count your blessings not your flaws


Frostfall had descended upon them with the fury of the wronged, turning family units into huddled forms beneath the sparse boughs of the wooded portions of the Falls. Something lonely and lost had descended upon Helovia, coating its inhabitants with more than just a thin layer of ice to their mornings. Spirits were low, and depression seemed to linger like a prowling beast at the edges of all homes and herdlands. With winter, it seemed every herd retreated into itself, cowering away from the force of the season.

Kaj had never liked isolation.

The Falls soldiered on beneath his and Archibald's reign, but it simply was not enough in his eyes. Allies had been forged and reforged, friendships struck and ties strengthened. But Kaj held family very close to his heart, and kinship was always the best way to make a bleary day a little bit brighter. He'd been planning the event in general secrecy, involving only a few individuals whom he needed to help run it. But all across Helovia, he had sent his people with invitations, just as the Basin had with their party on the island that had turned so sour. Kaj had allotted for the timing to work itself out for journeys, and the festivities were prepped and ready to be revealed at last. His family had worked hard, and it had given them purpose and excitement long before the event was to take place. It gave Kaj heart that perhaps, not all was to be lost. Still, his heart pounded as he turned to face one of his kin, knowing by their expression that the travelers had arrived before the words had ever parted their lips.

Turning, the Czar went to greet his guests. They had traveled far, and he would not leave them waiting any longer.

At the outskirts the golden king stood before the main waterfall entrance, the borders firm and solid beneath his hooves as reminder of where the citizens had all been drawn. Whether or not it was a success would be determined, the Basin's unfair failure lingering in his mind. Still, hope had to be held close at heart, and so Kaj would withhold judgment until the very end of the festivities.

Gazing out at whomever had come, Kaj's voiced boomed out in greeting. "Welcome, friends!" he waited as it reverberated pleasantly across the little valley where they had all been gathered by his patrolling warriors, hopefully ceasing all buzzing chatter and calling attention to his words. Wings lifted and stretched, primaries elongating and drawing notice to the Falls land behind him, the snowy atmosphere they were gathered within. All of them together, and he hoped they would face the evening with as bright an outlook as Kaj and his people. "This winter has shown to be undoubtedly fierce, and with it our spirits have dulled and our kinship has withered. The Falls has worked hard organizing this event, and we all hope these festivities will brighten all hearts and make this season easier to bear!" A bright smile curled against his lips, and wings happily settled high on his shoulders once more, hooves shuffling excitedly in the snow.

"The Falls welcomes you as guests, as friends. Today, there is no ill will, and we hope you will enjoy these festivities. Let us begin!"
