Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Rocky Mountain pass was cold, and the air was chilly. It was snowing up here also, but the snow was dense and already collected in clumps on the pine trees and the ground. Annowre sat on her horse, who trudged through the snow. Noelle was next to her on her pony.
"Should only take a little while to get there. We live closer than the other clans," Annowre said.

Annowre flelt the snow on her face. She watched Feddle trot ahead of them, loving the snow and getting his legs moist with snow. In no time, they arrived into the moutain valley where the Arach's had settled. Most of the houses here were small shacks or tents, because they'd only been there a short time. They had occupied an abandoned castle however, which stood tall and ancient on an outcrop of rocks. People watched them from their shacks or as they passed by.
The castle was big, and had no defence yet. Annowre dismounted and the horse and ponys' reins to a stone column. She helped Noelle down and they walked inside.

(TO THE CASTLE)

~ Noelle ~

Noelle tucked Zoe into the saddlebag of her pony and untied it from the stone. She trotted him in circles a bit to warm him up while waiting for her aunt.

~ Noelle ~

Noelle slowed her pony slightly on the ice. Zoe had fallen asleep in her warm bundle strapped in the saddlebag.
