DAY 546 (Nov 26-27)

A message will arrive at the gates that more reinforcements from other cities are on the way. The death of the Frost Giants' queen has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world -- not in small because it also means that the prophecy following Ragnarok can no longer happen as foretold. Unable to sit back and rely on fate now, groups of varying sizes from all over begin to arrive. First come scholars and medics from Vanaheim, followed by a ragtag but enthusiastic militia from Salt Side and other nearby villages, followed still by a military force of gruff and grumpy dwarves from Svartalfheim bringing with them a vast and diverse array of weapons to share.

They set up their semi-permanent camps outside the gates of the city - though many of them can be frequently found inside of the city too, and for the most part these new allies seem ready to learn about and contribute to whatever resources Asgard and its Travelers have already. Everyone in the camp seems to be prepared to stay there until the war for Yggdrasil is over, and especially so now: it's anyone's guess how Surt will react with Thiazi now permanently out of play.

DAY 547 (Nov 28-29)

On the morning of Day 547, every character with a bracelet will receive an invite from Freyr to come the courtyard of the castle at nightfall. The ice will be completely cleared from it, and a few magically tended bonfires will provide a gentle, radiating heat that keeps most of the area comfortably warm. As some of the castle's maids pass out snacks and hot cocoa in warm mugs, he will give a short speech to and then makes a small request of those who arrive.

[ Right. Little girl. He needed to be more careful to watch himself. ]

How old did you say you were again, Alice?

[madcuriosity]

Well, I think I'm eight. You see, I was seven and a half when I came, but time is so different here. I figured since I've been through at least two winters at least one year must have passed. So I'm eight... or eight and a half.

[felixtheprat]

Got a niece about your age, you know. Smart as a whip, just like you.

[ It's not meant to be condescending. Really, he sounds almost wistful. He misses Kira a lot. ]

So... other than flowers from your weird mirror-world, what's your favorite thing to draw? You should show me.

[madcuriosity]

[Alice smiles, she's not offended, by any means.] What was her name?

Oh! I could show you! You could meet him. His name is Marigold! When I was able to draw anything that was a creature of my mind, he was the first thing I drew. Would you like to meet him?

[felixtheprat]

Kira. She's my sister's little girl. And - oh, sure, I guess. [ Felix hesitates, then drains his hot chocolate. ] Might as well, right? Where is he? [ Considering all Felix has drawn are, uh, recreational things... maybe a little motivation for something more creative would do him good. ]

[madcuriosity]

Splendid! Marigold! [She called out and a bright, fire colored dragon was quick to fly around her head before landing once in her lap.] Mr. Felix, this is Marigold! He's my pet dragon!
