"If we'd won, there'd be green trees and grass and flowers of every color. And it'd be warm."
But you didn't win, Aila didn't retort. Instead, the White Warlock had killed the King and his Heirs, taken the castle, and remade the land to his liking for leagues in every direction. "I know, Mother."

"I'm sure you're right, Mother." The snow was up to her knees. Fat chance.
That's the trouble with prophecies; so often they're wrong...
