The air was crisp and cool. The light afternoon breeze danced around my neck, tickling my skin.
The early spring morning was invigorating, the vibrant leaves and flowers making the land of Thorn Forest appear even more alive.

There was still so much to do.
Now that fortification efforts had calmed immensely, Thorn Forest Academy was full of students, and the twins seemed content at home with sitters, we finally had a day to survey the territory.
