I Fell In To a Freezing Ring of Water!

Kai had never been to this island before, and.. while he'd wondered precisely why before, upon arrival he knew exactly why. The waters were bitter cold at best, despite the fact that the lands as a whole had warmed up since the volcano's initial eruption, though Kai wasn't sure why he'd expected much else. He paused as he stood at the edge of the shore, noting the way the land jutted straight into the ocean... at least for a distance. He debated crossing over at all, but the breathtaking landscape that lay just across the water was too intriguing to pass up.
From a distance it was hard to tell just what sort of terrain the island was, but as he drew closer it became more apparent. A deep green forest rose from the rocky slopes of the island, but beyond that it was hard to tell what sort of place it was. By the time he reached the edge of the water it was too late to turn back, now matter how chilly the water was... and by the time he emerged on solid ground once again the tusked male was shivering as he shook out his coat, letting out a few choice words at his decision. Too late now to truly complain though, and at least the sun's position overheat was giving him enough warmth to dry him quickly enough, despite the chill that seemed to sneak across the ocean's waves.
A huff left his lips as he navigated deeper onto the island. Unlike most islands the terrain wasn't flat for long, rocky shores rising sharply to a steep cliff that he was determined to conquer. Though rocky, trees still grew here, sparse near the bottom where he started - but further up they seemed much thicker. A cluster of them nearly obscured the figure of someone else until he drew much closer, and instantly he let out a bark of greeting. "Thought I was the only one stupid enough to head out this way," Kai called out gruffly, his voice friendly enough though hardly what you'd call jovial. Wait... that wasn't a wolf at all, was it? He squinted as he tried to get a better look at her, moving a few strides further up the slope toward her.
