It was still autumn back in Lake City, but winter appeared to have arrived early here in the mountains.

This had to be the first snow of the year.

Fae could not resist reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes. Now that the days were getting colder, she wondered how the disaster victims were going to brace through the harsh winter.

At the thought of this, she hurried over to James’ tent, where he had set up a makeshift office.

“Ow!”

Just then, a young girl’s cry of pain pierced the air. Shocked, Fae looked in the direction where the cry came from and saw Sheryn, who had apparently tripped. On her back was a basket filled with yellowed leaves that looked like wild herbs.

At the sight of this, Fae hurried over to help the girl get on her feet. “Are you all right? Did you get hurt?”

Sheryn regained her footing with Fae’s help and quickly checked the basket she had slung over her back. When she was sure that none of the herbs had spilled out during her fall, she looked somewhat relieved.

This made Fae even more curious. “What do you have there in your basket?”
