Why was it that Alysanne’s wanderlust always seemed to kick in during Frostfall? That had been how she had accidentally found her way to Helovia in the first place almost four years ago. This time, she was (fairly) certain she would not wander right out of this land and at least she was just being accompanied by some light flurries - not a full on blizzard as it had been back then.

Maybe this time it was a little more than wanderlust, she was just looking for any excuse to leave the Edge. She was trying to be better - a better mother for Naerys, a better Moon Doctor for the herd, a better sister and friend. And if the last year had shown her anything it was clear she was not going to get better while sitting in that herdland and hiding. She had everything now, she had no excuse to continue to ghost about.

But the habit had been formed and it was difficult to break.

Morning was turning to afternoon by the time Alysanne finally recognized where they were. “Told you.” came the deep, scolding voice of Hemlock as he swooped down to land on his usual perch between her ears. Her companion had a much better sense of direction than she ever did and had been telling her where they were likely going to end up when she had started walking. Well, she hadn’t believed him - not completely - and she shook her head slightly as a rebuke for his cheek, earning herself an affectionate nibble with his small beak on her dark ear.

Ahead of them, the rotunda stood out against the trees and bushes - even with the multicoloured glass hidden beneath a layer of snow. It was beautiful, if a little strange, and filled with warm memories for the pegasus mare. A good place to get out of the snow that was starting to fall heavier from the clouds, to shut herself off from the outside world. Literally. She had done enough, taking this venture out of the Edge, and her weary legs begged for a rest.

She brushed underneath a drape and entered the silent structure - the already muffled sound of the soft snow growing even more so as she moved into the centre, losing herself in the memories that this place beckoned from her.
