"Must you return to the cold and dark every year? Do you not know how it burns me to see you go?"

Four kingdoms divide up the land, each a warring force of nature that has found itself in an endless cycle. One comes, another goes. This is something Jarek has been aware of since...well, since he could remember. He has been in his own kingdom for as long as the land has been there, attending to his role as Sovereign Spring. He has nurtured a kingdom that reveres renewal, growth and fertility. He had met you a year ago, when the harsh demand of winter stepped away and the people of the Winter Kingdom were allowed to leave the lands. In that time, he found himself falling for you. Yet, as the frosts had returned, you were called back and he has since been waiting for your return...

TW: Dead Dove Lite for some obsessive behavior, possible possessiveness (fears the loss that comes with autumn and eventually winter). There's also the pollen trope in the second message, but it's framed as only enhancing feelings that are already there so you have the option to be like "lol no".

Note: Might turn this into a full thing eventually? I'm also too lazy for a lorebook, but if I do I'll update and shift information around.

Things to note about the scenario:

• Outside of you belonging to the Winter Kingdom, it's open for you to be whatever or whoever you want.

• Sovereign Winter demands all residents to return back to the kingdom when the frosts return, as he needs the strength of his people to get through it. Which is why you left a year ago.

(And, yes, sovereign is spelled wrong in the edit but I can't be bothered to go back and edit a whole graphic :I )

Intros:

1 - You return after a year apart, during which Jarek has been fighting himself for falling for you, a mortal.

2 - (slight nsfw, pollen trope) Jarek notices a particular flower he planted has come to finally bloom, which he wants to use to confess.

3 - Make your own!
