Finally! We captured one of these
creatures, presented it to our Baron and Baroness at Honey War. It
refused to talk, and then.....
Whispered
magic in crystal cloud, and our captured winterland spy was gone.
A dazzle and shimmer of icy shards sparkling in a million
tiny rainbows, dazzling and hypnotizing all around.....for how long were we
mystified?
No trace but tiny footprints and mocking bell-like laughter
fading in the early evening air. And still no closer to knowing what
intentions these hidden, frost ridden lands hold close for our beloved
baroness. Only that they watch.... always and ever watch.
We have come to expect the weight of their ever present
gaze. The children make a game of finding and counting the bright, jeweled
eyes that hide amongst frost rimmed greenery and ice frosted flowers.
Our Barony is under an insidious, cold hearted siege....but
we falter not. With Good Strong Heart and Determination, our Baron sets forth
his counters to their every move and strives to keep the Heart of his Baroness
and the Hearth of the Barony safe and strong. The fighters train mightily and
the populace draws even closer in Common Cause. For this Barony is Glymm
Mere....We are of the Glorious Kingdom of An Tir and we settle not for less
than Honour and Victory in any Challenge we Meet. Whether it be in a war of
Sword and Shield or a war for Home and Hearth. We will rise in Glorious warmth
and Burn the Ice from our lands so that our Baroness may walk strong and free
once more.
Ware the shadows and ice....for Glymm Mere now watches you
in return.
