Elves

.... The day after, wearing cold weather clothes she went out and gathered enough snow to recreate her childhood snowelf. Now that many years passed and she had better skill to actually make a decent-looking one, she still decided to give it the same wobbly appearance of her first snowelf. And just like so many years ago, it greeted her outside the porch, until the warmer weather melted it away.

"For my kind, the years pass by so slowly, but for mortals, they are as fast as a blink of an eye. We celebrate our own Yestare, yet to the Secondborn, it is as if each new year brings with it promises of renewal, in ways I barely comprehend. I do know however, that for each of us an age is ending, and a new one is beginning. May it bring renewal to all of us"

"Seasons always turn, as sure as the passing of time, and in a way they are like us, slow to change and forever tied to this world... Iavas brings with it a pale gold light that meets with Hrive's cold blue, brought about by the northerly wind blowing from the far north to the Iron Hills. It is also one more current to add in my rose of the Winds and I am one step closer to completion"

"Change doesn't come easy for the elves. Some say stillness is our undoing, and maybe so, but when I look at what was, what is and what will be, is it really bad to wish things stay the same? Such duality I find in the sky. The sky is always the same. But the clouds are not, they are ever changing in shape and form"

"I always heard that the wind that blows from the East is fowl and bringer of dark clouds that blot all sunlight. I saw it for myself and yet, I also saw it being repelled by the western currents. I do believe the ill omen wind can be cleansed, one day. Malicious or not, I shall still record it in my charts otherwise my work won't be complete"
