Leafchange: a time of transition. The weather got colder, the days got shorter, and the Greatwood, like Halo, began stocking up on provisions for Deepfrost. Last Deepfrost, a fair share of those provisions had gone to Halo, the Fae's hunters and gatherers working overtime to help provide for two regions, in exchange for Halo's goods -- and the promise of Halo's protection if war came.
Now war was coming, handed down by the gods, and yet Halo's status remained uncertain. Would its new leaders keep Morgan's promise, after ousting her? Juniper didn't know the exact details of Morgan's departure from Halo, but she knew that the transfer of power hadn't been planned -- or voluntary.
Morgan had hoped to remain neutral in the war to come. Back then, so had Juniper. But now she feared that neutrality was out the window, and if war had to come ... Juniper intended to win.
So now she stood before the Council Hall's door as the guard who had escorted her from the palace gates knocked on it.
