The four Dragonborn spent the rest of the night resting on the cold island. The cold wind continued sweeping across the snow-covered landscape, but the small fire they had built provided enough warmth for them to sleep comfortably. Not that without it they wouldn't feel comfortable.
After everything they had endured during the journey, they saw no reason to remain awake longer than necessary. So they sleep without anyone setting guard.
By the following morning, the sky had already brightened when Erend opened his eyes.
The others soon began preparing as well. They extinguished the fire, gathered their belongings, and checked the equipment Caelion had provided before preparing to continue their journey.
Erend unfolded the map across the ground again while Eccar, Aesa, and Sylven sat around it.
"We have to be careful now," Erend said as he studied the markings on the map. "From this point onward, it'll become much easier for us to be spotted because it's bright already."
