228 Passing Time

The Bleak Lands have been cold, and unforgiving. It was more than Vy and Lycster had predicted. As they stayed huddled next to the small campfire they had built out of materials they had, they rubbed their hands close together as they breathed warm air onto them. 

They had been traversing through the landscape for three days before the impending dark heavy clouds formed overhead. What followed, was unrelenting winds billowing with snow. The Blackfire siblings counted themselves lucky for they found a cave to rest in and call home. 

"How many days has it been?" Lycster asked as he placed his hand nearer to the burning flame. 

"I don't… really know either," Vy replied. 

They had passed the time with chit chat and simple games, but it did feel like it had been going on forever. Had they been there longer than they thought? Aether was coiled up next to Vy. 

-We've been in the cave for just shy of three days.- Aether's voice rang in both of their minds.
