The boy held up the lantern. It illumainted his pale face and the girl beside him. They seemed scared. "Reya, are you ready?" The boy asked. " As ready as I'll ever be, Realm." The girl, Reya, replied, her face beaded with sweat. Then a tall, pale, black-haired woman appeared. She seemed to float. " Reya, Realm." The woman greeted them. " Are you ready to join the dance?" They nodded.

They danced fluidly as the wind, by light of lantern. As they danced, they chanted: " By light of lantern, banish fall. At strike of midnight, let frost spred. Night, frost, by light of lantern, summon winter." They, as one might guess, where bringing winter into being.
