The journey was considerably more difficult than Aurora had anticipated.
The path quickly left behind the relatively gentle slopes surrounding the tribe and climbed toward the higher mountains where the snow became deeper and the wind sharper. Thick layers of ice covered sections of the rocky terrain, forcing everyone to move carefully.
Fortunately, the Snow Lions were perfectly adapted to the environment. Kellen moved confidently across the frozen slopes. While Zale and Elixir soared through the sky above.
Every once and now, Aurora's gaze drifted upward to see the majestic form of Zale's dragon. Seeing both a phoenix and a dragon flying side by side, she was almost left speechless at the life she's currently living.
The Snow Lion hunters moved ahead in several formations, searching for tracks while Kaelor had instructed them to avoid making unnecessary noise.
Aurora kept her gaze sharp while the system directed her through the dangerous terrain toward their destination.
