Bramblepoint With all of the faces

While Korei Julia made her progress along the river in one direction, Wraen explored the opposite one, though by the look and shape of the banks it did not seem likely that the beaver had built it's home in the vicinity. But the Ostrega girl had been more lucky - after a moment she heard her call and responded to it immediately, running towards the source of the sound.

"Good job," she praised her friend, when she had acknowledged her find. It truly was the kind of mound they were looking for. Even better, because it was surrounded by ice and, since a week ago the temperatures had been very low, Wraen was pretty sure that, if they were to walk on the surface, it would hold their weight. But before that...

"Don't worry - the entrance to the mound is underwater - that way the clever animal can escape the predators. We can go over there and explore it or... we could check the surrounding area, just in case there is a hole or break in the ice, where he exits the place," the choice was up to the student.
