Future

In the heart of the Sunfire capital, there is a statue of the first Queens of Nova Aurora. People take shelter from the rain under Queen Amaya's raised shield, they use the fireruby lit runes on Queen Janai's unsheathed sword to light their way. Parents take pictures of their children posing like the queens, playful lovers pose like they're battling each other at the Breach.

At the base of the statue there is the inscription 'We gain nothing if we throw away the chance to learn and grow'. There is a urban legend that somewhere, hidden on the statue there is the secret inscription 'Karim and Viren are dicks.'. This is untrue, that is what Amaya inscribed on a book sent to her old friend, Opeli.

But on Queen Janai's right vambrace, the one above the couple's intertwined hands, there is the small inscription 'Do you pose for a statue with all your prisoners, Queen Janai?'

Fourth Day of Gift-Giving

Four Flour Fails

... four times that baking did not end well

They are both amateur bakers ending up in a baking competition and all the baking disasters they endure binds them together.

Their baking attempt ended up in a flour fight and with a small innocent puppy who now looked like a ghost dog.

Decorating cookies was supposed to be some easy fun. But baking the cookies made a mess and decorating them was a lot harder than they had thought.

The customer is definitely not always right and a customer in a small bakery won’t except that. The baker and owner feels much better after leaving the kitchen to dump a bucket of flour over them.
