Northstar Vale Adelfí

The cold crept up Zulema's limbs as she walked the over the blanketed ground. While all of her senses were engaged on her small ventures, nothing short of chaotic, her mind was quiet just as her steps were. No one would know she was there, and no one would know she had gone. There was no other word for the vale at this time of day and season than serene, the word able to describe the way she felt as well. The fiery girl had grown to like the wintry air and surroundings.

She had found herself doing this a lot. It's not that she wasn't interested in being social, she loved spending time with others, but these quiet moments she loved just as much. Her muted walk met its end. She noted her brother was near, blue eyes fixing on him from a distance. She watched him pace from a distance, hurried and focused. Zulema stood in silence, unable to piece what he was doing together. She'd rather ask him.

❝What're you doing?❞
