Winter is coming, and the scene outside doesn’t feel too inviting. But what may seem discouraging outdoors is opposite to what is happening with the human-bride. She’s been bestowed with the Gift of Sabad, and with such, her focus has shifted. The human-bride is changing from within. IkOankar is what matters most to her because IkOankar is the stable source of love with all the troubles she faces.
