It was a glorious morning. The bright sun cast distinct shadows across the white limestone of the Palace, disturbed only by the faintest of breezes. The wind coaxed the leaves of the tropical plants to dance in rhythm to the melodious tunes that the garrulously colorful birds sang to their mates. The sun kissed every color of the rainbow, on leaves and petals and feathers, as life bloomed anew. Early spring was announcing its triumphant return by bringing brief afternoon showers and abundant vibrant energy to all that inhabited Fayre Isle.
