Did we get captured?
Absolutely.
Was it all part of my plan?
Absolutely.
Was my plan a detailed one?
Not at all.
But, of course, none of that mattered. What truly mattered was the fact that we were finally about to enter the fabled territory of the Ice Elves, a place that had eluded us for days and was exactly what we'd been looking for. The rest was… uh, just details. Yes, that's right… details!
We were currently in some sort of cage, bouncing along with each jolt as it was carried by a strange, hulking beast I'd never seen before. It loomed over us, massive and unshakable, its thick, snow-white fur absorbing the cold, its wide back supporting our cage with ease. Each time it shifted, I could feel the iron bars pressing against my back, but even in our confinement, I wasn't exactly worried. I had bigger plans in mind.
