Holy Water

The north was fascinating so far. Or at least, this place was. Molten gaze peered out across the very frozen lake, gaze lingering on the frozen pillars that rose and twisted and arched across it. And when she stepped onto the ice, she slipped and fell on her stomach, sliding several feet forward. Well, she was not expecting that. She had never walked on ice before, so this would definitely be a new experience. She almost thought about returning to solid ground, but she didn't want to wimp out. She struggled back to her feet and slowly walked a little further onto the ice. She noticed then, that each small step she took brought a glow that shone beneath the ice. With wide eyes, she craned her neck down for a better look while gently lifting one paw and placing it back down. The ice beneath her foot glowed again, and she couldn't help but smile.

She then decided to see if she could make the ice glow even brighter, so she gathered her feet beneath her and jumped up into the air -- much like a fox would -- and as soon as her front paws touched down, the ice glowed bright blue! But then...her feet slipped out from under her in an instant, and she landed ungracefully and went sliding across the ice faster than before, like a hockey puck. She tried to scramble to her feet as she slid, but each attempt only resulted in her tumbling around like an idiot. Well, looked like she would have to wait until she came to a full stop if she wanted to gain control of where she was actually going.
