Moonsong Glacier Sweet Girl

She'd been lucky with the lynx. She'd come across one that'd died of old age and, thankfully, had kept up its appearance until the very end. The fur was still in prime condition; it'd be luxurious once everything was completed.

When Ajei confirmed where they would go, Ariadne led them towards the glacier's base. When they arrived, she set down the items and caught her breath before speaking. Our home will be up there, she said, pointing up where the ice's incline leveled. There was a forest up there, and the dotting of moss near the caves could be seen through that forest. Do you see that? she said, referring to the moss. That is near the entrance. It is a good home that Chakliux found us, and it will keep us safe from the weather. I would show you the caves now, but I've been advised to keep to the ground to let my leg rest.

But, then, an idea: Ariadne drew two crude lines in the snow that looked similar to an equal sign; an etching of good luck representing the land and sky. I draw this symbol here, and the next time we meet, we will come here and have good luck on our climb, she said, smiling.
