Stella stretched her arms and limbs when she woke up. She was covered in thick comforters and there was a fireplace in her room to keep it warm. A magic tool was used to keep the temperature warm and stable. And yet, she still felt the cold the instant she got out of bed.

The skies were still gray as snow continued to fall endlessly. It was another winter day in Valyenor.

It was the season when ladies are supposed to behave and stay home making mittens and scarfs for their family to keep warm.
