Dwin was sure that the area at the foot of the mountain range had still plenty to offer, but she was done with the forests and fields - on the whole they all looked the same with little variations here and there. Perhaps, spring and summertime would be more exciting time to explore the area again. Mountains - on the other hand - lured with snow-covered peaks, distant thundering sounds of ice and masses of snow moving and the wonderful smell. By chance she had found a little path used by wolves and mountain goats alike that led upwards and snaked through the cliffs and rocks in the mysterious depths of the range.

She did not think much about the logistics and practical implications of such an arduous journey - but her being already very thin with ribs and hips sticking out under her pelt indicated that lack of food had not stopped her up until now. However, the further up she got, the more stops along the way she had to make. Her heart unused to the elevation pounded hard and fast in her chest and very often she was out of breath. Sometimes the elevation was so steep that a single step took a lot of effort, whereas it would be nothing of importance, when made down below. By sheer stubborness, incapability of admitting her defeat and - frankly speaking - there being no difference between going forward or turning back, she finally made it to an area, where the path was more or less horizontal.

After a while it was leading downhill, revealing vale ahead, which hosted trees and fields. She was very tired, but the sight inspired her to continue to move closer and closer, in hopes of finding a refuge to rest for a while. When near, she caught scent of the first wolves in the area and her face fell. The area turned out to be occupied already.
