A beautiful woman with fiery hair and long, pale, perfect legs walked cheerily across an open snow-covered plain. Behind her trailed a short line of children, all about half her height and all dressed approximately the same: skull cap with a fuzzy ball on top, warm woolen mittens, and a coat 2 sizes too big.
Seeing something in the distance, the woman stopped and started daydreaming for a while. She looked up and was stunned by the vast blue of the sky, the hawks screaming so loudly so far away. Her children wandered away, not knowing what to do and seeing the opportunity for adventure open to them.
