A girl walks a cross a frozen lake in hopes of finding something or someone...

She knows of the sacred veil that covers the lake. Her shadow-mother has told her it’s story for all of her 16 winters.

Her name is Kaelin and her Shadow-Mother, Raelin was all she ever knew her first 7 winters of life. By the age of 7 she was told in depth of the mysterious veil of the lake and that someday when she was ready all the knowledge of the kingdom would come to her. She was special, she was told. She never felt special before. But maybe today is the day.

Something was off today. Was it her time? Or should she be extra careful like Raelin had warned?
