“The winter has been kind to me so far. I found Calliope’s cocoon this morning and by the looks of it… she won’t be coming out for some time. Any attempt to wake her has been met with grumbles and groans. The cocoon’s binding has gotten stronger… I will have to wait here for her to emerge when she is ready. Some beasts have already stirred from hibernation and are hungry. Unfortunately this means I won’t be attending the masquerade I’ve heard so much about. No matter. These sort of gatherings have never really appealed to me… nevertheless it would be nice to gather some information. Perhaps I will have someone go on my behalf.” – Aikenn
