...and lo, though a melancholy filled the saddened heart of the snow goddess, the artic wolf like nature of her being was stoic and a warmth was held in the deep pools of her wistful stare... ...and she determined within herself that she would not be deterred and that as fresh snow covered old footsteps, past hurts would disappear as she pressed forward into the new year, ready to hunt and lead her pack in the forging of a new day.... ...anyways, happy New Year and Nollaig na mBan to you ...
