Snowflakes dance like butterflies.
A lantern's glow is ever weaker.
Young Emma of the anfylk dreams of a quiet life in her little village in the big forest.
She wants to raise a family and grow old in peace and quiet, with the love of her life by her side.
It's a plain and simple dream, but it's hers, and she'll do what it takes to achieve it.
Or, will she?
Her lover is a scoundrel and a rogue, who dreams of adventure and glory, and who's more at home on the road than by the hearth. Is he truly the man she needs for the life she wants?
As the time draws near for Emma to finally make up her mind, a huge bear comes down from the mountains to terrorize the forest, and everything else will just have to wait...
To seek aid for her village, Emma must travel farther than she's ever been before, and maybe, just maybe, she'll find the answers her heart desires.
Emma's Story is a cold, wintry tale about making difficult decisions, living up to expectations, and how things don't always turn out the way you hoped.
