I Fell In To a Freezing Ring of Water!

Natha scrambled over ebony rocks, shaking out her fur. A spray of water splashed around her and she grumbled to herself as she turned to look behind her. There had been a pathway that lead from the mainland to the island but it only stretched halfway. Too stubborn to turn back she took to the water to finish the trek. It was possible the pathway appeared fully during other seasons but autumn was apparently not one of them.

Turning her gaze to the path before her she beheld tall mounds of ebony rock stretching up into the sky in a manner that reminded her of those on Atlantis Island. She hoped this wasn't another dormant volcano but the similarities were eerie. Only one way to know for sure. Natha got to her feet and began to climb, her large paws carefully navigating through the rocky terrain.
