The Sunspire dandelion fluff

for @Zane!

that day, teya decided to push herself beyond the previously set limits. being out upon the frozen water with the striking man reminded the girl that there was more than the snow and the chill of winter.
for how long she traveled, teya did not know, except that her trail emptied into the mountains she had once known during their trek from seelie court. her jaw tightened; the greypumpkin shadow had accepted that sundance would not be back.
and still it pained her.
teya shivered, shoulders brushing against the rock juts at the base of a towering mountain as she paused to rest.
