Every year, people all around the world of Eoana gather together to celebrate the Winter Solstice. This event marks the shortest day, and the longest night of the year. It marks midwinter, a time to celebrate that spring is only a few short months away - a new beginning.
To mark this wonderful event, people often throw Winter Solstice Festivals. People from all walks of life come together to feast and dance and sing. Vendors know this is a wonderful day to sell their wares, as many give gifts to mark the occasion.
This year marks the Fifth Annual Winter Solstice Festival for the City and Academy of Eoana. The City has gone all out to celebrate and mark the occasion for its citizens. For the first day of the two-day festival, the Main Square has been turned into a full, makeshift banquet hall. With fires burning all around to warm the festival goers, the space is lit brilliantly. Tables of all manner of foods have been laid out for all to partake in.
Every side street is packed with merchants and vendors selling sweet treats, festival favors and gifts that might just what that special someone in your life is yearning for. Every street corner features a musical talent more amazing than the one before it. Music and laughter fill the air - the smiles are contagious as the energy of the day and night ignite the hearts of all who attend.
Snow lightly falls and dusts every surface, giving the festival an even deeper air of enchantment. Each store front, bench, and light post is decorated with wreaths and streamers, brilliant in color to brighten the otherwise monochromatic, snowy scene.
The festival promises two days of fun, excitement and enchantment. Bundle up and bring your spare coin! The festival will be one to remember! |

Gin took care to make sure that Sokea was well bundled as they walked toward the center of the city. The snow was lightly falling, but it wasn’t enough to deter them from going to the festival. Overall, it was a beautiful winter day. With his arm draped around Sokea to hold him close, he led the way. It was Sokea’s birthday – a very special occasion indeed.
Dressing in an adorable get-up, one that made Gin think that Sokea was pretending to be a shifter, the pale boy looked nice and bundled – despite his pink nose. With the cold weather, Gin had needed to change up his wardrobe as well – bare skin and snow didn’t mix. Dressed in black pants, he wore his usual hooded half cloak, but under it he wore a light shirt, then a thicker black sweater, not to mention gloves, thick socks and boots.
Trudging through the light layer of snow, he kept Sokea close to share his body heat. Sokea was small and prone to getting colder than him, so it was up to Gin to make sure Sokea was warm and comfortable.
“First thing on the list is Hot Cocoa.” He stated with a grin as he looked down at Sokea. “Then we can do whatever you like. Food, games…there should be some vendors selling gifts too.” Ever since he and Sokea had ‘gotten together’, Gin’s mood had improved greatly – at least when he was with Sokea. He could still be a grumpy jerk to anyone else, but Sokea always saw his best side. The only exception to that was when he had the visions.
“You’ll be getting your birthday gift later, so that’s not an option.” He said with a chuckle, knowing that Sokea was eager to know what Gin had prepared for him.

 Arika Azura
Water-based FairyNear the main area of the festival, sitting on a table under one of the awnings, sits Arika, as invisible as ever. In two months, she had not really said a word to anyone. She enjoyed being around humans, for sure, though because of the taboo of revealing herself, she essentially had to maintain her silence. In the meantime, she was living vicariously through the people who she was watching. It was winter now, so her ability to use her magic was somewhat limited, because all the water was frozen. This only added to any frustration she was feeling, because without a good source of heat to melt it, frozen water would do her no good. She couldn't even so much as throw a ball of water at a passerby. And so she watches, seeing the people have fun. That brought as much of a smile to her face as it could, though she still wished for more. |

 "Give service, Help the Innocent, Save the lives of friend and foe"
Two months have gone by. During those two months, Griselda has maintained a life of studying, training and writing. This has been her normal pattern for the first two years she has been at the academy. However, something changed this time around. Two changes to exact. The first change was Catherine, who two months ago admitted her feelings toward Griselda. Those feelings were good, and after Griselda confessed mutual feelings through poetry, the two of them began dating. The second change was Pepper. The tiny redheaded chef's apprentice came into her life when she needed someone to assist her with mastering her raiment. Griselda is far from a master but she is well trained enough to help someone else. While she had been helping Pepper with her powers, the little one helped her trainer better her cooking techniques and learn a few recipes. When she found out about the little girl's family situation, that she had none, Griselda took it upon herself to adopt the little girl. And that is where Griselda is now in her life: dating the princess of Valor and becoming an adoptive older sister. Right now she is at the festival unsure of what to do. She had gotten up really early in order to braid her hair and put on a winter outfit that she wanted to surprise Catherine with. Well, a semi-surprise at best considering that the princess helped Griselda buy her outfit along with a nice purse to go with it. Still, she arrived at the festival early and feeling a little nervous. This is not an outfit she is used to wearing. Should she be wearing something like this? Will Catherine like it? Maybe she should just go back to the dorm and...no. Griselda can' be having those thoughts again. She has discussed this with Catherine before and the last thing Griselda wants to do is think like she used to, so she pushed the negativity out of her mind and began to wander around.

 tab location : winter festival venue | status : taken | mood : like a kid | company : Griselda | outfit : Noble Winter (except that the fabric is dark red), hair in a French bun | profile: x | OOC : Long wait, and I'm sorry.
A lot had happened during those past two months, especially with the preparations for the festival alongside her training and spending time with her girlfriend and apprentice chef. Since the day was really special, it was natural for her to look the best, so she was wearing the noble winter ensemble given to her by her parents, though it took skill for her to tie the hair into an ornate bun. As she was looking around, searching for her beloved, her eyes took a glance at her step-brother spending time with Leylna, the one whom he wanted to impress. It was really nice, but Zelda deserved most of her attention, so she left the two alone to their own devices. Finally, she caught a flash of that familiar shade, taking on the figure of the girl whom she loved the most. Without hesitation, the princess ran, tackling the other into a hug.
"My cute poet is so gorgeous looking today," Catherine complimented before kissing her cheek and letting the other go, though she still took hold of the other's hands. There was a bright smile crossing her face as she inspected the other's appearance for the great moment.

Gin smirked at Sokea’s comment – when compared to Sokea, he was rather dark wasn’t he? So, if Gin was Hot Cocoa, what did that make Sokea? Whipped Cream? It was a funny thought. Leading Sokea onward, he smiled as he poked his cheek playfully. “Don’t worry, you won’t be missing much until we get to the center of the city. If I see anything before then, I’ll let you know.”
But as they walked, Sokea began to beg, wanting to know about his present. Gin grinned wide, knowing that he’d get this exact reaction at the mention of the present. “Nope, not gonna work. Not even if you try to seduce me.” He said with a smirk as he glanced at Sokea out of the corner of his eye. The two had made out plenty of times and fallen asleep in the same bed, but they hadn’t been intimate, at least not yet.
Blushing a bit, he held Sokea a bit closer, wanting to keep him warm. It wasn’t long before they could hear music in the air and smell the delicious treats that vendors were cooking to sell to patrons. “The city is decorated with banners, ornaments and wreaths.” He said as he led Sokea through the growing crowd. The closer they came to the city center the more congested it became. Eventually, Gin had shifted Sokea behind him, urging him to grasp his hoody whilst his tail wrapped around Sokea’s waist to hold him close.
Making his way over to the food vendors, he was quick to find the Hot Cocoa vendor. “Two please.” Handing over the appropriate coin, Gin was quick to place the cup in Sokea’s cold hands. He hoped the hot liquid would warm up his finders and his insides.

Lelyna gently and carefully took the hot beverage that Mikhail held out for her. Humming in satisfaction, she wrapped both hands around it and pulled it close to huddle around it’s warmth. Breathing in the aroma, she smiled happily. “Mmmmm~ Hot Apple Cider…such a lovely aroma and so delicious. Thank you, Mikhail.” She said as she moved a bit closer to him. Even with her layered clothing, her heavy cloak and Mikhail’s jacket, the cold air seemed to slip inside and chill her bones. Lelyna suspected that it was a side effect of her power and her weak body – she was prone to sickness after all…she only hoped that she didn’t catch a cold – she wanted to enjoy the festival with Mikhail.
“Well…the feast isn’t for a few hours, so we have some time to wander around.” She was most excited for the feast. The music and the entertainment were always a highlight, but she couldn’t fully experience them given her eyes. But at the feast, she could experience the food first hand. “What do you want to do, Mikhail?” He was her guide – in all honesty, during the previous years, she would be lucky to make it to the feast, let alone the other festivities. The festivals were just too crowded, too loud and too much for her to handle without assistance, and who wanted to lead around a blind girl when they could have fun? Mikhail, apparently. So, to ensure that he didn’t regret asking her to accompany him, she wanted to make sure that they did what he wanted to do.
Sipping her cider, she hummed happily, loving the taste and the warmth as it filled her. Her hands were chilly, but the heat from the cup helped. She took her time drinking it down, but once she was finished, she looped her arm around his again before placing her hands within the long sleeves of his jacket to keep them warm – she really should have worn her gloves, but she'd been so excited that she'd forgotten them back at the Academy.

Patrick Lockheart - Second Year ~ Patrick and Henry's Room ~
Rick had been up at the crack of dawn, excited for the festival and also glad to have a day or two off away from lessons. Already, he'd found his way down to the festival, his intention to perhaps browse the stalls and purchase gifts for family members at home - he'd wasted no time buying himself a poncho which he wore to keep the cold breeze out.
With a hessian bag in hand - a few crafted items for his younger siblings already in the base, he began to peruse the next line of stalls, looking for anything he could perhaps gift to his Aunt - A woman who had taken over the role of Seer after his Grandfa started going downhill with his health. She'd always been fascinated with the other realms and so he was looking for something really special for her...
It was as he was glancing around a stall specialising in hand crafted ornaments that his gaze fell upon a beautifully crafted creature, her skin a crystal-blue, her wings so terribly delicate that he had to question how skilled its creator would have to be in order to replicate such beauty - he was quite mesmerised and before he knew it, Rick was reaching out towards her, eager to run a gentle finger across her delicate hair,

"Give service, Help the Innocent, Save the lives of friend and foe"
Since the negativity of self-doubt was pushed out of Griselda's mind, she has been able to calm down and take in what this festival offer. There are a range of food to eat and activities to do, but which shall she do first? Rather, which shall she and the princess do first? Griselda will have to ask her when the time comes. Sure enough, the princess did arrive and when Griselda would see her, it was like seeing the fairest maiden in all the land or the greatest treasure one can behold. Instinctively she turned around when she heard someone running towards her. Normally she would get defensive since the first thought is someone is trying to attack her. Of course, her instinct didn't fully kick in when eyes caught sight of Catherine. Her body froze in response to not strike the princess, so the tackle turned into a hug did not knock Griselda down to the ground. Immediately her face warmed up and became a noticeable shade of pink. Then it became a darker pink upon Catherine's compliment. She finds the commoner gorgeous. If she is gorgeous, the princess is stunning beyond comparison from Griselda's perspective. She did manage to quickly hug the princess before they let go of each other and were not walking side by side and hand in hand. She has to say something, but her mind was so distracted by the beauty of princess, she couldn't think straight. She ended up blurting out the first thing that managed to popped into her mind,
"Y-You're so pretty...I-I mean farewell! N-No! S-Salutations! Ah...U-Um...s-sorry...H-How are you? Is...I-Is there something you want to do first? D-Did you eat something before you came here?"

Patrick Lockheart - Second Year ~ Patrick and Henry's Room ~
By no means had Rick expected the tiny creature to move and he recoiled as the tiny Fae shot out of reach... For a moment he lost sight of her, but as he looked around, his eyes caught the faint glimmer of a blue sprite as it fluttered away... "Whoa...so they're real?" it had been years since he'd seen a Fairy, he'd spent his youth playing with the creatures whenever his family settled up near Langfrey and its forests, but after a while, they'd seemed to have become few and far between, keeping their distance from the human kind...Almost afraid of them?
"They're not real lad." the seller grumbled, "But I'm flattered you think they are, carved 'em myself!" he patted his chest proudly, then returned his attention to another creature he was carving at the time.
"Huh?" Rick glanced back, tilting his head curiously before realising the old guy hadn't even noticed the tiny creature sitting amongst his carvings... "Oh, yeah - and a good job you did too, I might even hafta come to you for lessons!" he faked a grin, then looked up at Branwen who had perched above him on the stall. "C'mon Bran, let's move off," he was eager to find out where the tiny creature had gone, but knew it wasn't going to be easy - at least not in the eye of the public...
