- The winter currents drift in slow spirals, carrying ribbons of pale frost through the water like suspended snow. The gathered hydrafelidae murmur among themselves, breath rising in small bubbles towards the shimmering canopy above. Then, the crowd parts. Vexis steps forward, steady and composed, evergreen garlands clenched gently in his jaws. Frost clings to the swirl markings along his fur, and the glitter dusting on his tail catches the light like scattered stars. Though he makes no showy entrance, the ocean seems to settle around him all the same. "Gather close."
"One full cycle has passed since the first of our kind arrived in these depths. To mark this turning, the Abyss observes the new Frostfin Festival - a season for reflection, gathering, and honoring the growth we have shared. This season also welcomes the tradition of gifting - offerings may be exchanged among hydrafelis, chosen with care or crafted by fin. A simple token carries warmth, even in the coldest tides."
He steps aside, fins catching the glow as evergreen strands float around his tail like loose ribbons. The winter lights deepend, and the waters suddenly feel.... warm. "Frostfin Festival begins! May the season serve you well."
