From Balthazar’s Illuminated Manuscript:
In the valley of Geshwa, the Honey Woman and Icebeard made their home in a dell by a small waterfall in one of the many brooks that fell from the heights, and entered the great river. The Honey Woman kept her bees, and they multiplied, and searched the valley for news and flowers, and brought all they heard back to Honey Woman. And she protected them. Icebeard was always restless, though, and often he left the dell and the valley also, and searched creation for new things. And far in the north, he found something - or someone. Trapped in the snow, or made from it, he found a woman, both beautiful and terrible to behold. Her skin was like the snow and ice: pale, and hard, and her hair was like the shadows of the wind. And as he began to dig her out, he found that she had wings like a bird - also black like shadows of the wind, but also at time reflecting starlight, and all the colors it contained.
Icebeard brought her back to Geshwa through many toils, and when she arrived, haggard, and dieing, Honey Woman gave her honey, and brought her back to life - or perhaps to full life for the first time, neither Icebeard, nor Honey Woman knew from whence she came. And though Honey Woman loved Icebeard, she did not trust him, and she said to him “This woman will bring trouble wherever she goes…” so she took a great mass of honey from her hives, and asked her bees to carry it with the woman into the sky so that she when causes trouble, it is far, far away.
And so the woman lived in the sky, and there were others like her watching the honey and protecting it. And they swarmed with the bees and stayed off in the darkness of the night sky, and carried brass lanterns to see their way. And when the Honey Woman must travel, she knows that there are eyes watching her hives, and that they are safe, even if the Woman will cause trouble.
But she has made her home with Icebeard - and she knows, too, that he is not to be trusted, so she is used to watching things with both eyes, and making plans for when things do not work out as she has planned.
