(-38th of Winter, 509 AV-)
Snow blanketed the world, muting everything into monochromatic variations between vivid white and icy onyx. The sky was a rippling sheet of gray cloud, looming low overhead as though pausing to consider whether or not the earth below was sufficient enough in it's winter gown of pristine white. A silence hung in the air, as though the snow had muffled not only the vibrant, rolling landscape...but it's atmosphere as well.
Standing in stark contrast to the world around him, Ivar blew a long sigh from his chest, watching the cloud of frosted air move skyward with waning interest. A camp had been struck amidst the relics of a village, by which the large Nightwalker stood at ease. Evarette had just pitched her small tent, as night was threatening to descend quickly behind the heavy cloud cover. It was too late to hunt, and therefore she was grudgingly resigned to pack rations. However pressing the need for food and shelter was, though, Eva could not tamp down her want of exploration for long. Keeping Ivar within her sights, she'd taken a stroll through the crumbled remains of what hinted at a flourishing city at one time, long ago.
Evarette felt as though she was trapped in some sort of dream-scape, moving amongst the snow-laden ruins of what appeared to be once an altar of some sort. Broken slabs of stone were arrayed into a circled, some leaning against one another as though succumbing to the tests of time. Eva smiled as she brushed the powdery flakes from the face of one, scrutinizing the characters inscribed upon it with some consideration. It was of a tongue she was unfamiliar with, but the shape of the script was pleasing to the eye.
