Night fell swiftly with the onslaught of Orangemoon, shortening the warm days and leaving behind cool air that stirred the changing leaves. It was far from a silent night, the sound of animals rustling around the grove did not fade away with the sunlight. Softly an owl hooted in the distance and smaller creatures scurried in the bushes, rustling the drying leaves.

The sound of hooves upon the earth, crunching those same leaves, was hardly a strange sound with the multitude of horses that called Helovia home, and few of the wild creatures paid any attention to the sound of a set that was approaching in a steady beat.  

This time, however, it wasn’t just some horse coming here, looking to get lucky beneath the stars and in the soft glow of the strange plants that lined this small lake.

Rarely did reindeer travel this far south but this was not just any reindeer. Beneath the full moon, the ice that coated its antlers glinted and shone, its black coat gleaming as it travelled beneath the the night sky and looking for all the world as if it was part of that sky. A little sliver that dripped down, splashing upon the earth and forming something reindeer-shaped.

Sure, no one had asked this particular drop of night sky had wanted to come down to earth. It wasn’t given the choice, it was just expected to show up and do “the job” and… then what? Would it go back home? Would it die? What happened to the strange creatures around Helovia that handed out magic and eggs and goodies like they were candy? Did anyone ever ask where they go?

He was asking, but no one was listening to him.

With a huff, the reindeer continued its morose march toward the shores of the lake where it would wait - the soft pink and oranges of a nearby lantern tree providing enough light to distinguish him from the reflection of the night sky on the lake’s surface. With his hooves just a few inches away from the gentle waves, he beckoned the wind to whisper the name of the one he sought.

Elsa.

The sooner she came, the sooner they would find out what happened next.
