so i listen to the wind for an answer
Helovia never ceases to amaze her. Perhaps, by now, she should know better than to find herself surprised, but she cannot help it. Though surprised may not be the right word. Awed, impressed, intrigued. Maybe it’s a little bit of everything. Not one word feels quite right for the way she feels when she spots the Earth Turtle, his shell painted with stories that she’d never know.
She’d been flying, as she often does, heading home over the Meadow from the Deep Forest when a voice had caught her attention. Everyone decorate the tree with a prize for Magic Day! Magic Day? What is Magic Day? Curiosity coursing through her, she lands a bit of a ways off, tucking her wings to her side and walking the remaining distance.
She spots Glasgow and Tilney, though before she can join either of them, she makes her way to the tree first. She’d seen Tilney hang his lantern on the tree, leaving such an important piece of him behind. What did she have to offer? So little in this life, except the one thing that had ever really mattered to her. Hope. To her, it took the form of a ruby. Of all the rubies that glimmered in the pool of the Deep Forest. She had gone today looking for him – as she is always looking for him – and had found only the pool.
Though ice had formed on the surface of the pool, the layer was thin, and she’d taken another of the rubies, thinking to find a chain for it and give it to him. Or perhaps something that Zola could wear. She hadn’t decided what, but the idea of making something for him in return gave her hope and made her feel both giddy and foolish. She’d done it anyway though, and the ruby was still in her mouth. Perhaps it was intended for this tree all along. She places the ruby in the branches of the tree before speaking. “A ruby, the first gift I ever received from my first friend in Helovia. Hope when I had none.”
She steps away from the tree, offering Tilney a nod, and coming to stand by Glasgow’s side. She offers her friend a warm smile, reaching out her nose to tap the pale mare on the neck if she’ll allow it, before watching and waiting to see what might happen.

Magic use/power playing is okay, but check before serious injury/death
