A 5-year-old Altessa woke up to find the scene in her window filled with a phenomenon that she had never experienced before in real life. She had seen pictures of it in Bright's book of fairy tales, but she had never first-hand seen it before her eyes.
The glittering gems on the rooftops of the other buildings were hooded in white caps. The ground was blanketed in pure, feathery sheets. Below, some of the townspeople, huddled in their parkas, were leaving tiny footprints along the perfect blank clusters that settled on the dirt.
It was snowing.
The first thing Altessa thought of was to tell her brother. Excitedly, as soon as she spotted him, she loudly squealed,"Onii-sama! Onii-sama! It's snowing! It's really snowing!"
Bright laughed. "Yes, it's snowing! Let's go see if we can go outside!"
He seemed to share her eagerness to head on outside. As soon as they were properly dressed and told the servants where they were going, the two rushed into the castle garden, where snow drops had landed on the rose bushes.
Altessa noticed the frost plastering onto the plants, and gasped at the twinkling crystals that captured the light of the sun. Bending down to take a closer look, she gasped, breathless at the mysterious beauty. "Pretty,"was all she could say, her lime-green eyes glistening at the sight.
An awkward squawk broke out from the sky. A flock of birds in a V formation were flapping across the cerulean horizon. Altessa squinted to catch the sight of them, as did Bright, shading his eyes.
"That's strange,"he commented. "I read that birds always flew south in the fall, not the winter."
Altessa nodded, but another thought occured to her. "Onii-sama, remember that story about the birds in the winter? They must be special types of birds, and maybe they're going to that rainbow fountain place!"
"Maybe they are!" agreed Bright.
"Let's go follow them, Onii-sama!" suggested Altessa in an eager voice. "I want to see a rainbow fountain!"
"We should tell Hahaue first."
Altessa brightened. They were going to go to the rainbow fountain, just like the birds did in that story! "Okay!" she yipped, trying to suppress her jubilance.
The blonde started walking quickly in circles. "We're going to see the rainbow fountain! We're going to see the rainbow fountain!"
Altessa broke out in a clumsy jog. Her bundled clothing prevented her from running properly, and her legs tangled themselves when her foot slipped on a slick piece of bark on the roots of a winter tree. Immediately, her legs shot out from under and with a cry, Altessa tumbled onto her stomach.
Within seconds tears started to form at her eyes. She knew big girls shouldn't cry, and it was just an accident, but from the surprise, Altessa felt horrible all the same. She continued wailing, her blotchy face reddening as they became engulfed in salty tears.
It seemed to go on forever, until a figure settled in front of her. Soft hands grasped her own, and gently pulled her up to her knees. Bright gently embraced his sister, patting her back and murmuring,"It's all right, Altessa." The princess would only respond by holding her older brother tight and raising the loudness of her voice.
The siblings never ended up embarking on a journey to any fountain of rainbows of any sort, even if it had existed. Even though they had made plans to head off on a quest to find it, they never did. Bright had even drawn up a map, but it was soon lost in his room and forgotten. Bright and Altessa may have abandoned their dream, but their bond was seemingly the opposite.
Years later, Altessa toured her brother's room, looking for clues to where he had gone. She came upon the crumpled piece of paper containing scrawls of what looked like a map. For some reason, the princess' eyes started to tear up as she remembered the days before Bright had left.
