LA MATURATION HIVERNALE

 

Le Prince de l'Hiver et la Fée du Givre

The Winter Prince and the Frost Fairy

 

---

 

THE SEASONAL RITE  (La Maturation Printanière/Estivale/d'Automne/Hivernale) is celebrated as a rite of maturity lavished upon all Provinois youths. It involves a series of successive tasks over the course of a year that then culminate into ‘La Couronne’, the fête in which these challenges are weighted by the presence of the seasonal fairy. The fairy chooses the most ardent and spirited practitioner of the rite and what it stands for, and names them the Seasonal Prince(ss).

The tasks are chosen by the eldest of all living Provinois, and are bestowed upon the children without bias or blunder.

 

For the Hivernale, the Frost Fairy appears - the spirit of St. Joren, the saint of Winter. 

Whomever is the chosen of the Frost Fairy is then crowned as the Winter Prince(ss), and shall wear the Winter Wreath for the duration of the winter months.

One Anastasie Thérèse Pruvia steeled herself in preparation for the upcoming feats , namely the Fennec Fox hunt -- for which the girl was entirely unprepared. She rode off into the Orenian countryside with a Provinois stableboy, looking to hone her skill for the hunt.

Sophie's jaw clenched as she prepared herself, the age of her eldest sister suddenly catapulting the girl into the next era of her life, an era for which the girl was not ready. "It is all to change soon, Gee.." she murmured to the blond Aldersbergian at her flank(@neii), her eyes flickering between the girl and some figure in the distance.

The Petite Viscountess was a reserved girl, locking herself away in her room to brood and contemplate, especially in times where her Empire crumbled by the hands of an inept elder. Amadie Pruvia met many along the way, and soon she broke from the green walls and colorful sheets of her room, bursting into the world like a flower blossomed. Her morning strolls grew further away from her estate, exploring the world around her. 

 

She knew it would be a challenge for her upon the task of charisma, as Amadie was a particularly moody youth, having cooped herself in her room for many moons. She could catch all the beasts in the wild, or perform in front of a crowd, but something held her back when it came to people.

Georgiana met the gaze of her Pruvian companion(@ncarr) with a look of great uncertainty, replying, "My dear friend... I do fear you're right in that regard." Afterwards, she joined the girl in looking to that mysterious figure stood in the distance.

The senior Pruvia of Aeldin closed his book and listened to his attendant's news, simply nodding and resuming his study.
