Yuletide: Was That A Flake?

 Was That A Flake?

Princess Endora Dionne and Lady Aura finished wrapping the gifts that went under the tree just as the first flake of snow fell outside.

Dionne was the first to notice that it was getting dark in the front room. She looked up and sighed. “It’s snowing again.”

“It’s almost Yule of course it’s snowing.” Endora said as she looked out the window. “I’m supposed to meet Paddrick at Brimstone Tavern.”

“I’ll send a message to Horace to tell Paddrick to come here.” Lady Aura said as she picked up a scrap of wrapping paper.

Before she could enchant the paper, there was a knock at the door. Lady Aura smiled and went to answer it. “It’s probably him now.”

The Captain of the Sidhe Guard stood there with apologetic look on his face. “I’m looking for the Princess, My Lady.”

“She’s here.” Lady Aura waved him inside.

“Princess Endora, the Queen requires your presence as a matter of urgency.” The Captain said stiffly.

“What is it Captain?” Endora said as she went to get her cloak. “Is there something wrong?”

“No Princess but I need to get you to the palace as quickly as possible.” The Captain said. “I was sent to escort you.”

“Then we should go immediately. Dionne?” Endora looked at her.

Dionne nodded and retrieved her cloak.

The two faeries waved to Lady Aura and went out the door.

The Captain bowed to Lady Aura and followed the two faeries out.
