It was a beautiful, sunny day as Robin wandered out to the lake. The autumn leaves were beginning to fall, and there was a crisp breeze in the air. She was usually very happy, upbeat, and full of energy, but not today. Today she just wanted to enjoy a little peace and quiet. She was feeling a strange melancholy creeping into the air. The halls of the castle seemed unusually damp and cold, and the other kids' voices seemed extra shrill and harsh. Out here she could enjoy the fresh air and the soft rippling noise of the lake as it lapped against the shoreline. The leaves were slowly dying in the trees and their sorrowful rustle had a strangely comforting effect on her. She walked over to the large tree by the water and sat down, closing her eyes and letting the sounds and the sensations of the wind cover her like a blanket.
