Finally at long last the pare make it to the exit of the Dwarven Mountain! The dizziness had finally passed but Camilla still felt pretty weak and tired... It had been a loooong day... Fortunately it was nearly done! Excitedly the pare step out onto the summit and Rosewood whinny's happily! She had made it! She had come with Camilla all the way to the top! The mare marvels at the view while Camilla dismounts "Yay you made it Rosewood!" she cheers as she steps down the mare shakes herself proudly once Camilla was off! "Ok! You stay here! The Mantle should be right up there!" she says before heading for the Peak!
The climb was long but not too bad! Camilla watched carefully for any eagles or deep snow but fortunately none appeared and soon she was at the top! Slowly she bends down to pick up the Mantle and her eyes light up with delight! It was a Capelet style Mantle! It would still cover up her Spauldrons and part of her Dormouse on her Tabard but it wouldn't get in her way! Soon the excitement became too much! "Yaaay! Wow! It's a short Mantle Yay!" she cheers while jumping up and down! Rosewood whinny's happily as well!
Crack!
"Eep! Oh no!" Camilla cries as the snow begins sliding! Confused but knowing what to do Rosewood runs over near the sliding snow and Whinny's before tossing her head to flip the reigns over her head! She braces herself as she holds the reigns out over the snow and waits! Camilla some how was keeping her balance and saw Rosewood's plan! She was reluctant because she was afraid she might pull the mare off too but as her window started to close she decided to trust the her!
Lunging forwards she just barely catches the reigns as the last of the snow goes tumbling down! Skillfully Rosewood braces her hooves but does slide forwards slightly however her hooves were planted firmly enough to hold strong! Unfortunately the momentum Camilla was going at causes her to swing around and slam HARD into the Mountainside! "A-ack!" she yelps as she just so happens to slam into her wounded side! Now not only did she gave bear scratches and a snake bite but she also had brused ribs now ontop of it all... "O-owie... She whines softly as Rosewood drags her back up...
For a long moment Camilla just lays there on her belly with the reigns still clutched in one hand and the Mantle clutched in the other until the mare nuzzles her back worriedly... "I'm alright Rosewood..." she says bravely... Even though she wasn't... Her side utterly screamed at her and she wasn't honestly sure she hadn't broken something... Fortunately when Camilla finally got the courage to pull herself up she could tell her ribs were just bruised but boy were they sore... At least she hadn't tumbled down the mountain this time! And the nice thing about Rosewood being here is she had transportation back down!
Slowly very slowly Camilla climbs into the saddle and flops against the mares neck before hugging it all while still holding the Mantle... "To Lancelot's...!" she exclaims with as much energy she had left to spare the mare nickers before slowly heading inside...
