They continued on, the frown in Enenra's expression never seeming to ease as Emiko shouted how she wanted this to end, as she wondered when it might end. Enenra knew at some point Spring would be reunited to them, but how long would it take to come? Enenra was still quite young and these lands horribly new to them both. Maybe in this vast, strange place, the snows lasted far longer…
A silent whimper, caught on the back of his tongue. His sunshine eyes sought for the comfort of Kanna but he realized he could not see her, could not find her. Where had she gone??? Had she slipped and been pushed into the sea by the strength of the winds? Had she fallen behind? Had she found safety elsewhere and could not be heard over the storm when she had called out to them to let them know?
A deep pit in his gut stirred and he felt the bile of it rise up from within. Kanna had been good to him, despite how hard it must have been for her, despite Enenra likely being a constant reminder of her son's death. She had allowed him to accompany her here, to seek out Hattori, to start anew. Now he had lost her and the thought made him chilled to the bone even more then he had been before.
The remaining pair, in time, would reach the Faller's Fjord at the other end of the Bifrost. Here, the ocean cut into the earth of land, moving inland. The couple could manage to find cover along the rock face, split in half by the sea. Here, a thick forest once thrived, now mostly of branch and bark then thick and lush trees as it may have been in spring and summer. Still, there was much shield from the forest and rocky terrain. Far better then it had been on the open, flat Bifrost at least.
The winds no longer blasting in his ears, the flame-licked young wolf hesitantly lifts them. He could hear a ringing in his ears from the wind, snow and sea spray they were not leaving behind. He does not slow down however, quick to stay along the side of the swift Emiko in order to find comfort and shelter for the night. “I hope Kanna is okay...” He whispers ever delicately as golden eyes scan the Fjord around them. Surely they could find a cavern of some sort nearby in order to wade out the rest of the snow storm.

Player Note: Speech written in italic means Enenra is speaking Japanese. This is his primary language and does not yet know common well.
