It's our fokken island now.

Aresenn stood tall and proud, his thick fur bristling in the frigid autumn air. The scent of saltwater and ice filled his senses as he gazed out at the vast expanse of the Polar Sound. Its waters were a deep shade of cerulean, surely to be frozen in time and unyielding to those who dared challenge its icy depths. Across the channel lay Arden Glacies, once a powerful volcano now submerged beneath the surface. Its jagged edges protruded from the water, offering little insight into its mysterious interior. But Aresenn was determined to uncover its secrets, no matter how freezing the journey may be.

Aresenn knew that as the winter months approached, a frozen pathway would form, connecting the isolated island to the mainland. He had experienced it before in the previous year, but now, in mid-autumn, the waters were still wide open and treacherous. The frothy waves crashed against the rocky shore, daring anyone to attempt to cross the channel. Even for a seasoned wolf like Aresenn, this was no easy feat. The icy waters tested one's endurance and strength, demanding the utmost respect for the raw power of nature. Each step was a calculated risk, as the wolf carefully navigated through the frigid currents.

Despite the treacherous journey that lay ahead, Aresenn felt a surge of determination coursing through his veins. He stood at the edge of the icy channel, steeling himself for the daunting task ahead. The frigid waters lapped against his skin, causing his muscles to tense and his breath to become shallow. But he was undeterred. With each step forward, he could feel the weight on his shoulders lifting, replaced by a fierce determination to conquer this challenge one stroke at a time. And just before his breath was stolen from him, he issued a call for those willing to accompany him. And so, with a deep breath and unwavering focus, Aresenn plunged into the freezing depths to begin the acclimation process, ready to face whatever obstacles awaited him on his journey to Arden Glacies.
