Javier, Tulip, and Arthur trekked up the looming mountains that stood tall and was unfazed by the howling gale. The river gushing forth frozen waters down it, while the winds blew fierce up along the way.

The trees swayed by the swirling snowy air, the world was entirely encased by ice and frost. The snow piled up to the height of their torsos, and the higher they went, the harder it was to breath slightly. The horses brayed, shaking the collecting white dust on their manes. They were just as uncomfortable as their masters, who shuddered by the weather's intensity.

Tulip buried half of her face in her wolf coat and her rosy red bandana. "Hey, I see some smoke." Javier pointed towards the sky in front of them. Tulip and Arthur looked, and the truth was in the gray, wispy snake of clouds drifting upwards. "Come on, let's take a look."

"Let's hope it ain't more of O'Driscoll's boys." Arthur spat at the thought of them, Tulip scoffed in the side, saying curse words internally.

As they came closer, signs of equipment of a campfire was clear. "Well..." Javier jumped off of his horse, Boaz, examining the dead campfire. "Seems somebody left..."

Tulip slightly pulled on the leathery reins, prompting Sunny to stop in her tracks. Traces and giant patches of charcoal laid upon the ground, the snow hadn't covered it either. While Arthur stayed on his horse shivering and crossing his arms, Tulip came to inspect it closer.

He picked up a pinch of the black dust, the dead campfire was still warm and there were faint embers cuddled close under the firewood. "Recently...and..." He saw lines within the snow, a trail, as Tulip spotted it too. She urged her horse forward onto the trail, pointing. "That way." Javier hopped onto his horse.

"Sure, well, c'mon then." Arthur spoke through clattering teeth, quickly, wanting to get this over with.

"There's some tracks leading to the river, go ahead Tulip." Javier closely followed her, since she caught onto the trail. They crossed the frigid river that hummed as the waters ran past, continuing onwards.
