Ice Cubes and Broken Spouts

Morning hovered on the horizon as Natha and Lyulf worked their way south. A soft pinkish glow was just starting to color the sky and the stars were beginning to fade one by one. She strode along the coast, enjoying the cool breeze that blew in off the ocean and also enjoying that the ice was starting to fade and her paws were once again on solid earth. Ahhh it felt good. Something caught her attention and she pranced over to a large hole in the ground full to the brim of water.

"Huh, I wonder what's up with this." She leaned over a bit farther, trying to see how far down it went. She had heard a loner mention something about a giant geyser that lay dormant in the summer months. In the water she could see a number of cirrus clouds in the sky. She sat down and gazed up looking at the cirrus clouds for a moment as she analyzed the weather.
