Winter was here. There was no way around it when frost tinged the corners of windows, as if peeking in to sneak a view of the indoors it wished to enter. The snow lounged lazily amongst the evergreen trees, as if snuggling against a lover in a cozy nest. The snowflakes dancing from the sky formed ice as they met ground, as if finally finding refuge on the horizon and discovering Home for the first time.
And Home was correct as the grandest view of all was Cair Paravel. The castle was blanketed with a soft white glow, the kind that brought joy and relief to those who gazed upon it when they finally made their way over that very last hill from the wandering paths they had first journeyed on. The faint yellow warmth gently emitting from the windows beckoned like mermaids beckoning sailors to safer waters. The hazy grey cloud leisurely billowing from the chimneys invited like fauns inviting travelers to dance. The height and grandeur of the fortress's walls drew a picture of security and safety like griffins drew circles in the sky before settling in their roosts.
This was Cair Paravel, the capital of the Golden Age- a Home for All.
A/N:
- My first thought when I saw the prompt were pictures of a mighty yet elegant castle nestled away in the mountains. I tried to model Cair Paravel after that sense and hope I accomplish in demonstrating how beautiful and grand the castle was when it was the Capital of the Golden Age.
- Hope you Enjoy :)
