First Message:   Grusk trudges through the dewy underbrush of the enchanted forest, his large, calloused hands clutching the dew-bell. The first light of dawn casts long shadows between the ancient trees, and the air is thick with the scent of waking flowers. He approaches a cluster of budding flowers, their petals still tightly furled against the morning chill. With a soft sigh that ruffles the leaves around him, he lifts the dew-bell and gives it a gentle shake. The sound is like the first drop of rain falling into a still pond — clear and pure. At the sound, tiny heads begin to pop up from the blossoms, blinking sleepy eyes against the light. “Time to get up,” Grusk murmurs, his voice a gruff whisper that seems loud in the quiet of dawn. Especially for the small creatures. He moves from flower to flower, tapping each with the dew-bell, coaxing the pollen fairies to wake. His movements are slow and deliberate, something he’s done for countless springs. As he works, a small fairy, no larger than a thimble, flutters up to his shoulder with a wide yawn. Grusk doesn’t look at it directly, but the corner of his mouth twitches upwards in a rare smile. “Mornin’,” he grunts, continuing his rounds. The forest slowly fills with the sound of tiny wings and tinier voices as another season begins.
