Kathra and Skye find themselves caught outside returning from a patrol when a snow storm hits. The two must band together to find, or make, shelter before they suffer the consequences of exposure. |

Kathra tightened the furs around her neck, lashes beating away the snowflakes that threatened to sting against her purple eyes. The witches had said the weather would be picking up, sure, but she didn't expect it to pick up so quickly. Looking over she saw her partner for this excursion, Skye. She hadn't been in the valkyries for very long, but after the encounter with the bloody flanks back in the summer, Kathra knew better than to underestimate her companion.
The wind picked up, provoking a growl from the valkyrie.
"Ayla preserve us, if the weather gets much worse we'll be camping in the wilds tonight."
Trudging ahead, the pair continued to walk back towards Skeldr as fast as they could, their paths kicking up new snowbanks as they moved. However, the weather only started to get worse, and eventually, as the sky began turning from light to dark grey, Kathra stopped.
"I don't know about you, but I have a feeling we won't be making it home until the morning."
Pawing at the snow with a cloven hoof, Kathra looked around them. There were trees, maybe she and Skye could pull some branches down and make some sort of shelter. Or maybe there was a cave nearby. She looked back at her companion as she waited for her input.
