Ancient Relics

Briar nodded in agreement and grinned at her husband's excitement as he lead them forward to find a way inside the abandoned ship. She was on the same train of thought as him over the fact that there had to be a way in if wolves had previously lived here. She knew this used to be the site of a pack at one point and surely no one would live out here on the icy tundra without some sort of shelter or structure to make it worth doing so. Sure enough, Artorias found an open doorway that was within their reach here on the surface of the thick ice and she nodded at his directing to follow him. She stepped into the large metal structure with curiosity, her turquoise gaze roaming over the unusual walls and peeking into slender doorways as they passed them. She had never seen something like this, but the straight and even spacing of everything and the very squared off floor and ceiling to this place reminded her of the castle. She had an inkling that who or whatever had built the castle many, many years ago must have had some kind of hand in this strange structure as well.

It was quite dark in the ship with no fires or anything lit in here due to the fact that it was currently not in use so she stuck close to Artorias and followed his lead until they finally found a staircase that led them upward toward the deck of the ship. Every part of the ship seemed to creak or clang with a metallic noise wherever they moved and she had a hard time imagining living here with all this noise all the time. Clearly someone had done it at least once and perhaps someone would again, but it was strange to her all the same. Eventually they reached an opening that brought them out onto the deck and back out into the bright light of day, revealing the view from the top of the ship. She had to blink her eyes a few times to adjust to the change in light, but once she did and she could see out over the great expanse of tundra she could see what Art was so amazed by. With an awed grin she stepped over to the railing and looked out over the landscape for a time, taking it all in and tugging her coat a little tighter around her.
