The winter solstice has arrived, and the mist over the lake feels heavier than usual. It’s a time for reflection, though some would prefer I spend it reflecting on my mistakes instead of my duties. My shield is ready, and Excalibur feels steady in my hand, even if the world feels a bit colder today. Am I the only one who finds the stillness of winter more intimidating than the chaos of battle? Stay vigilant, everyone. #WinterSolstice #Avalon #DutyCalls
