Iridessa: "Fairyname Here, have you heard? Queen Clarion just announced that it’s time to work on the Northern Lights!"
"The Northern Lights are a gift we Fairies created for the mainland long ago. They’re way up north, and they fill the whole night sky with shimmering light!"
"The shapes always change, and the colors -- reds, greens, blues -- they change, too. It’s all so magical!"
"Every few seasons we visit them and see what they need to keep shining bright in the mainland sky. Want to help me get ready?"
