Spirits in the Mist

She had never climbed so high nor so far up a mountain before. In all her years alive, Pandora often stuck to the lower level caves to do her work, but when Bekh came to her with word that there was a wondrous temple hidden at the top of the mountain, Pandora gathered some supplies and took off in search of a way up. With Bekh's help, she had managed to navigate the tunnels that led to the top, though not without some trouble. She had nearly fallen into a sink hole. Had almost fallen off a steep drop that Bekh had missed, and nearly broke an ankle when she slipped down a steep incline. Luckily, it seemed the Spirits were on her side today, for she got away from it all with nothing but light scratches and some soreness.

The Warrior Priestess emerged from the dark tunnels to find most of the peak was covered in what she assumed were the clouds. It was damp and cold up here, causing her to shiver. With Winter well over the lands and storms plaguing Boreas, she had hoped that the peaks would be safe, but alas, it would not appear to be. It was dreary up here, though she felt that were she to come on a day when there were no storms, it would be a beautiful sight.

Up here, the sounds of the world seemed muted. It was like something out of Silent Hill, and even Bekh didn't make a sound as he flew low overhead. Then again, he was an owl, so that was probably a given. But still, she couldn't hear her own steps. Her breathing. Nothing. It was almost as if the world had gone silent. She walked slowly and was careful where she placed her feet. She didn't know what surprises were up here, if any.
