House on Fire (part two)

[Thirty miles South of the Gladis Hub: 2100 hours]

A half dozen white tents blended in with the ice-covered landscape of the Northern Polar region. Hyai had taken out four large rocks and superheated them before placing them in a steel pot. It was as warm as any campfire.

Cyan shared a large fur blanket with the Innkeeper, the Chief Acolyte was far from being cold. "He would have run through here sometime before the first morning. He started at sundown and ran through the night so that he would be strongest when the temperatures were the coldest."

The pilgrimage had to face quite a few difficulties during the day. A wandering group of Aquarions jumped out of the snow and attacked them within an hour of their start. Mid-Day saw them stumble onto a rare White Polar bear, outside of Morti, it was the biggest bear anyone from Inferno had ever seen.
