The Greatwood was a riot of color during Leafchange. However, Alina didn't have eyes for it. All she had eyes for was the water dotting the ground. For a long while, she simply hovered above it. Then, she slowly descended.
The wonder puddles were finicky, and many gazed into them at their peril. However, they could show both the past and, rarely, very rarely, the future. She wandered among them for a moment, fingers white-knuckled against her spear.
Then she stopped beside the nearest one. Taking a deep breath, she stared resolutely down at it. It flickered with light, and it took her a moment to realize that it was the leaves of the Greatwood reflected above. However, instead of the oranges and yellows and browns coming from the new season, they came from fire and ash. She flinched when she realized what she was looking at and tore her gaze away.
