Aelfwine wasn’t sure what it was that brought her here, but she was pleasantly surprised to see the stalks of bamboo that jumped from the earth. The ice had slowly begun to melt away from the earth as Birdsong took over and Aelf found herself beginning to shed her winter coat. The winter had been long here in Helovia since she had arrived and she was sure that it had to have been over soon, but it continued to stretch on. She was stuck searching for the Edge throughout Frostfall, but the ice and temperature made it difficult for her to will herself to go on far journeys. It took her months to even each this wondrous place, but nevertheless the dappled doe was pleased with the result. She watched the sun as it cascaded over the stalks that sprouted to the partially cloudy sky, breathing in the fresh scent of spring. Her great horned head lifted high into the sky as she drunk in the scent, flicking her tail with a sense of utmost content to have stumbled across such a jewel today.
Still, that didn’t deter her from missing her brother. It had been so long since she had seen Tilney, and it was months since she had been tracking Tuppence – only to lose them in the wilds of Helovia. And Arah, the ivory doe didn’t even recognize her. She was the same princess from her past, she was sure, but whether or not Arah knew or wanted to admit it was another story. She needed to find them, or at least find something, to bide the time away while she figured this Helovian life out. Was this to be her end goal? Maybe. Or perhaps she’d continue moving on once she had spent time with her siblings, as she always had. Only time could tell.
Yet when Aelfwine opened her eyes, the beautiful scenery had faded away. She could still sense that she was standing where she had first closed her eyes. However, she was seeing nothing but darkness. Turning her head left and right, the doe widened her eyes with a frenzy. “What? How? Where did it all go?” She mumbled to herself, unable to fully understand what was happening to her. All she knew was that she saw nothing but a dark void – nothing like the beautiful picture her emerald orbs had witnessed moments before. She stamped a cloven hoof into the lush earth, cursing under her breath as she searched for a way to remove herself from this cursed place – but she still couldn’t see. So she stood helpless, grumbling over the fact that she had lost her sight.
