It allows him to fly, and it does so in that exact moment: lifting him off of the loam of forest ground, past the branches of trees, and up towards the steep bluff where swaying plants shiver in the breeze.
Their roots are strong, and the leaves and flowers are hardy enough to thrive beneath the frost. Stephen plucks at one between scarred forefinger and thumb, taking a moment to observe the nature of its blossom β little starburst shapes in a blue so pale it looks white beneath the rime. Likely the origin of the name: Winterwhite.
Stephen calls over his shoulder, rummaging around in his satchel the next second to unearth a pair of gloves and a sharp set of clippers.]
