This was my entry for the July/Aug '18 challenge, "Opposing seasons". I am very happy that it made me win my first Silver Compass.

"Once a year, when the time has come, the Stones start to shimmer in their usual bright blue light.
All around them, the grass slowly frosts, and the petals of the small yellow flowers ice up and become as white as swan's wings.
Then, gusts of wind bring snow whirlwinds from the sky and spread them all over the Lands of Melenor.
The spirit of the old mage never liked autumn and spring, so he decided to change seasons his own way."
