Welcome to CRLiterature! This December, we’re discovering a desert world filled with magic that has forgotten the wonders of winter in our “Legend of Snow” weekly activities. ❄️ Follow the prompts below to build out your own version of this fantasy universe with a little magic and a lot of fun for your chance to win DA points or badges! 🏅   ❄️The Legend of Snow, Part 1: ❄️ The desert is unrelenting as you make your daily march to the only well within hundreds of miles.

"Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go." THE CHANGE IN SEASON Autumn in the wilderness unfurls like a grand symphony, each leaf a delicate note in nature's orchestral embrace.

The rivers, once roaring with the snow-melt of spring, now flow gently, mirroring the vibrant tapestry of the canopy above. Here
