Return (For Real, This Time)
Riding on the back of Kow-Chok, exiting the snow biome was easy. The warmth provided by his large reptilian frame protected us from the cold, and holding on to the furry fleece around his neck was easy. Axilia hugged me from behind, and Ling Xin hugged her to form somewhat of a secure 'train'. Yami and Lorelei were stored safely in my Space Locket. This way, no one would fall off.
In the matter of a few minutes, the Winter Storm was successfully passed. Kow-Chok was fast, after all. Each stride covered a good 200 meters and shook the earth as he went. Yes, the trip was pretty shaky and there was too much noise to hear anything what with all the wind and all, but it was worth it for the speed. I had instructed him to go as fast as possible, after all.
