Phoenix Maplewood The Promise

For Iota! <3 Backdated so it's set on the 10th of February!

"Iota!" Calida called, wandering further and further from the glacier. She had not seen the storyteller in over a month, and her worry was giving way to panic. Had he been injured? Had he gotten lost? Or had he just... left? This particular thought made Calida's heart clench slightly - he had seemed so eager to join. She secretly hoped he was only lost - at least that meant he could be find. Swallowing hard, Calida let loose a series of howls - anything to find the man alive and safe. Calida recalled only too easily her brush with death early on in the winter - she had finally healed, but it had made her more cautious, and more afraid. "Iota!" Another frantic call.
