Emberflame Ridge there's no turning back now

I would've seen him when I came up the mountain, or smelled him at least, the boy supplies, eager to wash away the worries of his sister.  He has to be out there somewhere.  Maybe he found Eleuthera, and they're sitting out there somewhere under the same sky doing the same thing we are.  One could never be too hopeful — right?

He situated himself against her, using the large ridge as a windbreak.  Though she was small, two bodies were always warmer than one, and the nights were starting to get cold.  It'd be nice to have someone with him again, if only for the night.  Oh, we saw just about everything.  Great wide plains as flat and far as you could see, spread for miles in every direction.  Mountains so tall they dwarfed the sun.  Great bodies of water so deep and blue it looked like the sky had swallowed the earth.  But as for what I was doing when I woke up... I don't know.  Leu was gone already, and I can't remember why.  She wouldn't have left me if I were in danger, I'm just sure of it.  Maybe she went to go get help and got lost on the way back.  Or maybe I had gone out on my own for something.  Whatever I do, I can't remember.  But I recognized some of the surroundings, and with winter coming... it felt safer to come home.
