I like that boulder, that's a nice boulder

Day was falling into night and with it came a cold unlike any that Atreyu had experienced before. Sure the winters in Judila could get cold, but nothing compared to this flash freeze that seemed to take hold of the lower continent. Driven by a need to get warm and protect Bigs from any frostbite or worse, death. The little naked dog was struggling in this frigid weather, and needed to find shelter fast. Atreyu looked behind her to see if Azriel and Oath were still with her, hoping they would be as the warmth would be needed tonight. "Don't worry, Bigs, we'll find you a good warm place for your head." The dog rolled his eyes and smiled, 'It's all of me I'm worried about, I'm freezing.' Atreyu nodded and moved on ahead, searching for something that could make a good den for the four of them.

Azriel may not want to share a den, but right now in this weather, it was better if they did. Freezing alone in bed sounded worse than snuggling up to your betrothed, her little dog and her brother. Atreyu would take the warmth of a pile any day, but Azriel was a creature unto himself. Still, Atreyu managed to find an abandoned-looking bear den and pointed it out to the guys. The ground here was too solid to dig through, so this would have to do, and it was big enough to house the trio of giant wolves and the tiny dog too. Atreyu scented around the area, making sure that all possibilities of a bear being in the area was a thing of the past, not wanting another run-in with the ursine creatures. When it seemed like the coast was clear, Atreyu turned to the others and smiled wide.

"Well, looks like we camp here tonight." She said, and moved to peek inside the cave. No one was home, thankfully, and the spotted dire woman made her way inside - hopefully followed by the others. Bigs wasted no time, and made his way inside with Atreyu. "It's big enough I could build us a small fire!" She exclaimed excitedly, her holographic eyes widened and happy. The continent would only get colder the more the season wore on, and Atreyu knew they would have to migrate to the South Boreas area, but she wanted to gather the siblings she knew were in Auster and let them know to go north. Once they got everything settled, Atreyu made her way to get firewood for them so they would have the added heat. Soon enough they would be warm enough to laugh hopefully. The spotted dire woman set up the wood in a teepee and put some kindling in the middle, taking her flint and striking it so that the kindling ignited. She was getting rather good at making fires.

All of a sudden a commotion could be heard outside, and in came three badgers who looked ready to fight. Well, they would get their fight...
