Mount Apikuni Wicked Games

A majestic dawn did little to soften the appearance of the great mountain ahead. The morning light cast harsh shadows over a barren, craggy face, making the ridges and cliffs appear sharp and foreboding. Approaching from the North, she saw that the right side of the mountain was scarred and gloomy. It seemed to open up into a tight valley, or perhaps a canyon, but Valkyrie did not trust what she could not see. She opted instead to redirect her route to swing around the Eastern face. On that side, a thick, emerald forest glimmered, the vibrant pigments stark against the white of winter's accumulated snowfall.

With her hefty coat and imposing physique, she was not deterred by the windswept dunes of snow. She ploughed on withour concern, reaching the forrested base of the mountain just before noon. At the peripheries, she took a moment to scout the area, cornflower blue eyes narrowed with skepticism. She could either try to hunker down for the rest of the day, or press on in the hopes that the other side of the mountain would yield a more favourable environment, rather than simply a small outcrop of trees.
