So I don't forget again

Entry 176: Hebra West Summit

The cold almost feels worse now that we've left the warmth of the hot spring.

There are great up drafts at the cliff drops of the mountains. Looking at the Sheikah slate and from my memories a good chunk of Hyrule is surrounded by a seemingly bottomless canyon, if not them by the ocean. The slate even shows a little land beyond it. What's beyond there? Other kingdoms? You'd think someone from out there would have come to visit here in a hundred years. Or if there are people, are they scared away by the continued existence of the Calamity? Do they even know Zelda is holding it back? I can't see the land from where I am with the snow flittering down and the wind tossing it wherever, but maybe from Death Mountain or the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.

It was just for a moment when fighting skeletons, but I spotted something in the sky. It was like Rainbow light ribbons in the sky. Maybe it was another of the elemental beings? It was big and long like them.

We hit several dead ends so we had to back track a lot. Bossa Nova is exhausted, especially after we fought that bear. I at least have extra food, and I'm going to make the fur into another blanket for us.

We pushed on a little more after the bear fight though and found a monster camp. Now that I've emptied out the play we're staying here till the storm passes.

The wind had grown more ferocious, and the snow has pelted down hard for a while now. It's a good thing we found this giant skull thing when we did.

This reminds me of when I met Sidon. How we trudged through the storm and Bossa Nova found a partly buried skull for us to take shelter from the storm.

I miss him. I guess I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic right now. It's beautiful, but eerily lonely here. At least in fields and forests there are birds, foxes, bugs and other critters, but here any living being, even monsters are so few and far between. I don't hear them calling out or rustling through the grass. It's so quiet here, the snow seems to absorb all the sound, if there is any. Now I don't have anything to distract me, I'm just lost in thought.

I feel sad, but it's not a bad kind of sadness. It's more passing? It's been... rather interesting being here.
