April Prompt ~ Reflections of Majesty

The castle homesteads of the village are small reflections of the majestic castles of lords from long ago.

The castle homesteads of the village are small reflections of the majestic castles of lords from long ago.

The guardian family takes its job seriously. The village is protected by the silent guardians atop the parapets.

Cozy corners are found through the archways of the castle homesteads.

Beyond the village, a path leads deep into the forest and into the timeless myths of fae woods and fairy rings.

As the sun sets in Autumn, a golden hour blooms across the gardens of the village.

With the winter night, the villagers depart and the solitude deepens as the snow falls.

The warmth of the cheerful candles pushes back against the winter’s dark.

Festive lights are found in the Gnome Grove near the edge of the village. Only one family lives nearby and, for some reason, they are unafraid of the fae who live there.

The cold winter nights are lonely and dark. While the villagers huddle indoors, the creatures of scary stories roam the world outside.

A lonely autumn moon looks over the sleeping fields, bringing glinting flowers to bare trees.
