Redhawk Caldera The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari

Lele had grown tired of winter and especially of the weather in recent weeks. It fluctuated between freezing temperatures and massive amounts of snow to it melting and raining. Only to start the cycle all over again. She was either ploughing her way through wet, heavy snow, splashing through mud and water or managing to keep her balance and not fall on slippery ice. These conditions weren't favourable for hunting and she had gone few days without having anything to eat. 

Those rare days, when sun broke through the grey clouds and she felt its warmth upon her skin, were far too few. Daylight hours were still not enough to cheer her up and cold, damp and dark nights reminded her starkly of her loneliness. There was a still long way to go until spring arrived and on days, when everything was particularly hard to bear, it felt as if time had stopped moving forward at all. 

On top of that - she felt trapped and only the decision to leave, to travel again, once the snow went away for good, was that kept her going.
