Chapter ~ 9 : Icebound Truths

THE city lights glittered in its entire gleam as I walked through them. The whole world suddenly seemed happy and gay. Rainbow colored streetlights decorating the pavements.

Even though I'd never really seen a rainbow before but I could only imagine what it really looked like. Dazzling like a heap of colorful gems put in together and blindingly beautiful to the eyes. I could see rainbows even in the shimmering high towers that seemed to leave their unknown traces in one's heart.

Maybe it was only through the eyes of a winter sprite that such a view was possible. Or maybe I was just imaging the most stunning panorama ever witnessed by one's eyes, but to put it all together, I felt joy. A strange sense of satisfaction and happiness sipped into my very soul. It was relieving, soothing to the heart. And it was something I felt after a very long time.

I sprinted through the hectic streets while drowned in my bliss, quietly humming to myself.

It was grand.

It was splendid.
