An impossible view

Kiela had been here once before, but this time felt distinctly different. The moon's presence, massive in the clear night sky, seemed almost threatening with its looming presence. For the first time in her life that she could remember she found little solace in its presence, instead longing for the sun to make its return. Night had only just fallen though, and while she was admittedly wary she was hardy afraid. Something was changing - and change seemed to be something these lands had plenty of. Even her adventurous heart preferred when things remained relatively predictable, though she was slowly learning to adapt to this unpredictable world.

She was slow as she moved across the ice, scoping out the vicinity. With winter here again in full force she had no worries about the weight of the ice breaking beneath her but she was ever-wary of her surroundings. She'd already discovered the strange glowing balls of light trapped beneath the ice, that wasn't news to her - but it seemed as if some of the orbs themselves had escaped and were drifting lazily over the frozen lake. But they hadn't, such a thing was impossible. She let out a thoughtful breath as she continued along, watching as one of the orbs lazily floated toward her nose and then disappeared.
