Aurelia and Aurora are nearly two years old. Queen Clarion was in the Autumn Forrest having a talk with Redleaf about the Autumn preperations. While Aurelia was being entertained with the nature talents nearby.

"... then we just have to add more yellow butterflies this year. So that, we will no need to use the rose paint for the leaves." Clarion replied.

"Of course, your highness." Redleaf said.

"Mommy look!" Aurelia called out. "A crown!" She giggled showing off the small crown made out of autumn leaves that the nature fairies made for her.

"That's really pretty sweetheart." Clarion smiled then returned with her conversation with Redleaf and a few of the nature talents.

"...Hazel, Scarlett! Would you please bring the paint samples for the leaf colors, that we planned for this year?" Redleaf called out to the two fairies looking after Aurelia who was admiring the autumn plants nearby, while not looking as he was still in a discussion with the queen.

"Right away, minister." The two fairies bowed then left to do the minister's request.

As they left Aurelia giggled as she ran her hands over the soft plants nearby. Until something caught her eye. A vast land of white. Connected by a thick log over a river. Curiously the princess went to get a closer look.

Meanwhile a little nearby the border, Lord Milori and Aurora was in the Winter Woods as Milori was busy talking to the animal fairies. Getting a little impatient, Aurora tugged on her father's shirt. "Daddy? Play now?" She asked. "Just a moment snowdrop, daddy's almost done." Milori replied.

Aurora pouted until her eye caught on a bright land filled with color in the distance. Seeing her father still in a conversation, she took it has an opportunity to sneak a peak of the curious world that she has never seen before.

Back in the Autumn, Clarion was laughing at something Redleaf said when she looked in the direction where her daughter was supposed to be. Her laughter quickly stopped. "Where's Aurelia?" She asked starting to get worried as she looked at the minister and the nature fairies.

"Don't worry Queen Clarion, I'm sure the princess is here somewhere. We'll help look." Redleaf said as he told the fairies in that area to look for the princess.

Aurelia went out of the Autumn Forrest and continued to look upon the beauty of the Winter Woods until her curiousity told her to cross. She took a step into winter and was immediately entranced with its beauty. She giggled as the snow fell upon her. Not noticing her wings and hair turned white.

She was continued to be enchanted by the place with the longing to stay here forever until she bumped into someone causing the both of them to fall into the soft snow.

Picking herself up, she looked at the fairy who was also standing up. She was the same height as her. Which she thought was odd because she had never seen somefairy who was as young as her. She also had blue eyes the same one as her and white monarch wings.

The two continued to stare at one another until both heard a voice followed by another voice. "Aurelia!" "Aurora!". They both looked at the direction behind them. With one last look at the fairy, Aurelia ran back to the voice of her mother.

"Aurelia! There you are!" Clarion said as she embraced her daughter as she saw her on the Autumn path near Winter. "Where have you been? I was getting worried." she asked.

"Sorry mommy." Aurelia said. "It's alright sweetheart. Just please don't wander off like that alright?" Aurelia nodded as they both walked back into Autumn.

Clarion looked over her shoulder to glance at Winter. It still had the same breathtaking view that she fell in love long time ago. Sighing in her mind, she diverts her gaze.

Eight years later, an eleven year old Aurelia woke up to the bright morning sun as it shone on her face. Groaning she got up into a sitting position. She tried to recall the dream she had. I was in Winter, then I found myself staring at myself, but I had a blue dress. I never had a blue dress. Why does this drean keep on repeating for days now? Aurelia thought in her mind. Could this mean something? Until a knock came from the door. "Come in." The princess called out sleepily.

"Good morning Princess, Queen Clarion would like to see you in the tearoom in ten minutes." Viola said as she entered her room. "And after that she told me to inform you that your lessons will start after." Viola added.

"I see, thank you Viola. Please tell mother I'll be there." Aurelia replied. "Of course, your highness." The fairy said before giving a bow then left her room. When the door was closed, Aurelia sighed she got up and opened the rest of her curtains. She looked upon the view of Winter that can be seen from the distance. "One day I'll go out there." She said as she gazed at the view before going to get ready.
