Alpine Lake Heavy into everything

He's traveling with @Aria but this is open to others, as well! :)

A week ago, when Floki had pictured his trip with Aria, he had imagined it as an opportunity to get to know her better. They would travel through familiar territories to reach a place that neither of them had explored before; it would be a fun and light-hearted journey.

But as they moved around Moonspear's base and trekked across Silverlight Terrace, it was anything but carefree. Everywhere they looked there was devastation and evidence of the locusts' destruction. The insects had consumed nearly every blade of grass and had stripped the trees bare. And even more worrisome was the lack of prey they encountered. Floki realized that he was lucky to have eaten not long before leaving Moonspear, but he began to fret about what he and Aria would consume while on the road. Hunting would not be easy.

They soon found themselves at the slope of an unclaimed mountain, and the sound of running water drew Floki's attention. He pricked his ears, casting a sidelong glance at Aria, then began to trot more quickly. As he circled the southern edge of the rocky structure, his gaze fell on a waterfall tumbling from its summit. It pooled into a river that led south, and beyond stretched a land which Floki had only laid eyes on from Moonspear's highest reaches. His heart sank when he noted the leafless trees, though he forced himself to focus on the waterfall. "There was a waterfall in Stavanger Bay, where I grew up. Shield Maiden's Sorrow," he commented absently as he looked up at the cascading water.
