As she crammed her hat on, she realised that abstraction was about to turn into experience.

"If this spell works," she said, shaking, "I won't be who I was yesterday."

"That's the point," he replied.

When she stepped out, she wondered if Fortuna looked kindly upon this pilgrimage.

When hope died, the world turned... silent.
Athena layed down her arms without delight. Her heavy heart sunk like the sun at dusk. In the darkness, a force older than the Gods remembered itself.
When love kissed awake a new dawn, the world stepped forward with curiosity.

Frostbite her only companion, she leans against the icy rocks on the bottom of the precipice. Life won't wait as time longs for balance. Tiredness turns into fatigue, then into unconsciousness. Her last thought is no prayer, but a dream that shifts her into a new reality.

The Last First Kiss

The last first kiss - an idea of mystery, and myth. She wondered if this was it, when the thought hit, that humans never really know if something will happen to them for the last time.

The last first kiss ... This could mean the happily ever after all fairytales end with. But what if their story ended, and there would never be any kiss, ever again?

She had read about this in humantales, where sad...

...shy heart sharing with him genuine love for the sleeping Earth that needs to awaken. She'd become an excellent shaman.

Lost And Found

I woke up in the dead of Winter with no memory of who I was, or how I got here. In the dusk of a stormy evening, I recognised footprints in the snow, and followed them. The cold carried a scent of metal, and pine. It stung through my cloak like a freshly forged sword of Winter steel. A flicker of green light shot through the auroran fabric, then it went dark. I never knew why it didn't like me....

The blackbox was snowed in.
We had to find it. Otherwise, there was no chance to reboot the timemachine. It would be dangerous.
The whiteout obscured where cobblestone ended, and bog began.

With the last hue of the sinking sun fading, the chorus set in. A polyphonic screaming that froze the marrow of bones. She crouched beneath the fir, making herself as small as possible, fear pumping adrenaline through her body.

'You only have to survive until midnight',

her heart whispered. Then, this cursed day would be over.

"The gift of forgiveness is a blessing", the magician told the apprentice, barely able to suppress the smoldering. When the hem of his cloak spontaneously combusted, he knew it was time for a hermitage.

I look into the candle's flickering flame. Lights spangle around me, as my body disintegrates. When it reforms, I find myself in the snow beneath a star-spangled sky, Saturn's position revealing to me, that the warp succeeded.

Beneath The Icebound Crown

Far under Winterheart's Ridge, where Wind Sprites unbound Northwind's gale to fight the human urge of planning, the crone is hibernating. With Spring, she'll be reborn as maid. In her dreams, she's already making the list of what flowers to wear.

Entities lined up along the icy path leading to the workshop, reminiscing, wondering if the stories were true.

The fire in the hearth crackled, when Ronan placed his offering. He had dodged destiny's avalanche for too long. There was no sin in facing the truth. As feelings transcribed onto...

...ostentatious.

The simple moments grace another year with gratitude:
A gaze diving into the white of a misty day.
The bird choir rehearsing by the pond in the evening.
Smoke rising from a chimney on a cold morning.

Newfangled prescience claims to know what's to come.
I wait, and let it show itself to see.
In the end, it will always be those simple moments, and a present me.

The first frost, bundled up in scarf and mittens, mistletoe memories melting fast as a cold Winter sun illuminates egregious shadows.

No regret.

I still wouldn't surrogate reality for some fairytale fantasy.

I don't regret the egregious things done to me by the hands of frigid hearts. Productive fatalism can't match my standards.

Here's the magic:
I encourage weakness, for it is wherein true strength lies. Never will I surrogate integrity for gimcrack jingles

The chocolate bunny choir sang carols at the party of gingerbread castle. It was the common procedure before candy Jack-O-Lanterns with bells were riding midnight's need on a snowdrift by telling a ghost story to the marshmallow snowbabies. An inchoate memory was wandering next to a vanilla-crescent moon on a cinnamon-starry sky.

...starry night, and froze out galactic beauty.

Tired of waiting, the tower fell. No sundress in moonlight colours emerged from the rubble. Only an inordinately bleak, and bland, tartan.

Slowly, I'm tracing whiffs of who I was in hopes that, some day, I'll remember who I am. Meanwhile, I'm learning to hold myself in all brokenness. And I wonder: How far does a goodbye go?

Ninguid cars block the sidewalk. Snow primped tin forms a guard of honour. A thick layer of ice on top, the frog in my throat hibernates. Once bewitched by your charm, I guess, it was fun while it lasted. For you, anyway.
