"Do thou see the sun set when the wind rises? Or keep thine head covered in the sanctuary of thy humble abode?.."—Ferguson.

ASHWOOD:

The days of the heavy winter subsided to a calm daily breeze, drifting through the lands and the tents of the Evergreen residents.

Today, they seeked to make quite a durable shelter, even when Headstone had said staying more than a year wasn't the plans, the people had already formed a close relationship with the others of Ashwood.

Rosemary, She was the assistant to Headstone, and served as the second in command, when he wasn't around. And that time, would be now.

Everyday, the people gathered to have their portions of food, as they always did.

The morning cold was always a prayer to avoid getting sick, especially with the snowflakes sometimes falling into the large pot of snowberry soup.
