Summary: Qui-Gon is enjoying the first day of spring
**********************
First light.
Above his head, the luminous white petals of ice-lilies drooped, glacial-hard, waiting, waiting.
Qui-Gon stood, breathed in the silence, the frozen quiet that comes from deep winter. The Force was strong here, vibrant under the snow, the last of hibernation giving way to a new awakening.
As sun-glow brightened the sky after months of night, the air was suddenly filled with the crystalline chime of flowers blossoming upward, a chaotic symphony of sound and dazzling color, the fine glitter of their pollen shaken free and spilling diamond-dust brilliance across the snow.
It was the first day of spring.
