In Mt. Everest, Apakht and her horned companion are traversing through an unexpected blizzard.

"What a fascinating view! I can see why humans love climbing here!" Apakht laughs.

"S-S-Shut up a-already an-d-d let's g-get this-s over w-w-with." The blonde lady is covered from head to toe with clothing to keep herself warm. "W-Why couldn't we j-just teleport t-t-to where the k-key is located?"

"Because I first need to know where exactly it is. I may be intelligent with godly powers that rival the main bride, but I'm sadly not omnipotent. I just have an inkling feeling that this may be the right place." They both keep climbing. 

"H-How are you not f-f-freezing to death?"

"Magic, Lightlove." Apakht winks. Lightlove responds with a sigh as they tread along the snow. They find dead bodies on the way. "Those must be SCP-5140. Just walk around them." She instructs her partner. They move past the corpses as they get closer to the rocky area. "Ladies first." She smiles while motioning Lightlove to climb.

"Had I known this b-before, I would've d-declined." She grumbles. Lightlove starts climbing and Apakht follows. 

"Daaamn. Now that I take a good look, you have a fine ass." She whistles. Lightlove answers by throwing snow at her face. "Ack! Pfft! It got in my mouth, lady!" 

"To think you're one of his brides." She shakes her head.

"Well, I am the fun one. The rest are massive killjoys. Be glad we're actually doing our job. Lord knows the others are wasting their time waiting for something to happen."

"Are you talking about your boy?"

"Cerberus? Nah. He's fun to toy with. The other brides are slouchers who's only character trait is slobbering the King's hot rod. They're not a pleasant bunch to be with, you get me?" Lightlove stares at her. "Not you, love. Your cold demeanor is endearing." She grins. They finally reach a flat surface to stand. They take in the view. "Wooo. Let's take a quick breather." She sits down for a moment. 

Lightlove ain't having none of that and keeps going. She stops once noticing another person in the distance. "I thought you said there were no humans here." Apakht checks who she is referring to.

It's a figure that is dressed head to toe in what resembles standard mountaineering wear and boots, colored white. The face is obscured with a hood and big mountain goggles.

"That's SCP-1529. It must've sensed us here. Don't look at them directly or else you'll be hypnotized by it. Don't worry, I got us covered." She summons Get Scared and sprays white liquid around their bodies.

"Ugh. Disgusting." 

"And suggestive!" She controls her giggles. "Now let's keep going and try to avoid it." She slaps Lightlove's ass. She takes a deep breath to not strangle her right now. As they climb, 1529 is seeing them, confused as to why they're unaffected and starts following them. 

"Look." Lightlove nudges her head to the direction of the climber. A monster materializes behind it. It's a giant white Yeti with an antelope skull on its head. 

"Oh great. It's got a Protector. And lame looking at that." Apakht comments. A blizzard comes out of nowhere, obscuring their sight. The snow sharpens to icicles and starts hurting them. "Fuck! Get to cover!" They reach another landing and hide in between boulders. "Damn it. How annoying. If I didn't have to focus to keep myself warm, this would've been over now." She grumbles while regenerating. 

"Tove Lo." Lightlove summons her Protector. 

She is very similar to Mary's, except it is more mature and curvier. Instead of vines, her body is covered in blood orchids and lavender. Lightlove covers her right eye and an orchid sprouts on the other side of the mountain. It blooms, revealing her eye to scan.
