Sophie and Nicholas arrived at Blackwoods Forest and saw a sight that was unlike any other. The people who refused to even take one step close to this place were now all gathered together and the entire forest was sparkling beyond belief.
All of the trees were filled with beautiful wreaths of flowers and crystals that sparkled underneath the setting sun like the very first snowflakes of winter that were soon coming upon them.
When Nicholas and Sophie first reunited and saw each other at Cawden Academy, it was the start of autumn and the trees and their leaves were just changing to their gold, yellow, red, saffron, and bronze hues.
At the time Sophie ran away back to here in Hautingen, the fall seemed like a terrible premonition of how everything withered and died but it only turned out to give way to her finally understanding and knowing who Nicholas was.
A passing of seasons that welcomed and ushered in a new one.
