cuz it's hot then it's cold

They'd stopped close to where Ultyr had fell the goat. Her stomach was stretched visibly from eating the goat with Ultyr, though there had been leftovers. She wasn't that big and sometimes she felt like he forgot she was only a slave.

She brought another branch to the small fire she had started, snapping smaller pieces from it and placing them into the fire. Wind buffeted them here, cold from the southern lands to this one. Her thinner fur ruffled against the colder winds. How could the weather be so extremely different in these lands. Hot and humid, then cold and frigid. Auster her book called the lower half of the lands, Boreas the northern half of them. Opposite seasons it had said the lands experienced. A glance at the sky, darkened with stars shining brightly and a new moon hanging low.

She had felt a few tremors from the earth as they moved about the lands towards this one. How strange they had been. Her ears flicked forward as she moved back to her place among the rocky outcropping, the fire stoked once more. She laid next to a large stone, keeping the rock between her and the wind. Her jaws pulled the book from her satchel beside her, opening it to a page that was blank. Her teeth then grasping the brush and the charcoal, inserting the charcoal into the metal piece in the brush that was seemingly made for drawing with. She then set about drawing in the book. The cold of Auster and heat of Boreas having intrigued her, especially when paired with the recent tremors she had felt. She denoted all three on the side as she drew.

A constellation drawn to note the position and where it sat with the season. The star cluster being visible in the skies meant summer was about half over. So next season should be fall. But with fall what did that mean for these lands? In their homelands she knew it would usually bring a slight chill and a harvest of pumpkins with it, but here where she had seen no such fields planted nor slaves working the lands what did these lands know? How did they cope with the seasons here? What would be the outcome of these tremors?
