Duskfire Glacier the future unfolds in silver and gold

Dwinn had gone from witnessing "the big and vast water thingie" to an equivalently awesome scene, which was called for the time being "the big an vast ice thingie". She had almost not come here, because it had seemed that there were better prospects at hunting down South, but lured by the scent paths of the wolves, who inhabited a nearby forest, she had wandered further East. Because it was also true that, where there was traffic, there was more likelihood of finding garbage as well (read - remnants of food and meals). 

She had been somewhat lucky in that sense - had found enough morsels to live by, but not enough to feel full. If a week ago she had looked thin, now the imbalance of exercise and the food intake was more prominent. If it was not for her thick and plush winter coat, she could have applied to become the next Twiggy-type fashion model with ease. A coat-hanger physique - all edges and no curves. Good thing that Dwinn was not bothered too much by her looks, because, what mattered to her, was the world on the outside. 

The majestic ice fields filled her mind with enough excitement for it to forget that she was still very hungry. Then she noticed another traveller in a distance. And as she was used to by now, she called out to the fellow: "Hey! Good day to you! What brings you here?" And then she approached the other to have a better look, but from a safe distance.
