The moon and wind seem pleased as each horse comes and selects a path, either around the base of the mountain or up the slippery slope of the side. For each horse, with each choice, the wind gusts just a little harder for them, curling around their body and enveloping them in a layer of cold. Even when the wind is feeling giving, it is not unforgiving, and the chill bites to the bone. For those going up the path of the mountain, they find that with each step the snow becomes deeper, as it was before the paths emerged and before their choice was made. And even the moon seem to grow darker with each step closer towards it. The moon is a cruel mistress, jealously guarding herself on this night and growing darker from those who would try to trek closer to her. Eventually a wall of snow stops all forward momentum, the moon grows black behind a cloud for those on the mountain path and the wind ceases to blow. Those four that have gone upward have failed to gain the favor of the moon and the wind and are left to their own devices in the snow. For the pair that travel around the base of the mountain, the moon continues to glow and the winds seem to push from behind, urging them on ever faster. The path they travel on eventually splits into two again, one leading into a tunnel through a pile of snow where the wind seems to blow and howl with extreme force but the moon cannot touch. The other path leads through the open air, the moon shining almost as brilliantly as the sun, but the wind seems to stop as though there is invisible force field around the path. “Moon or wind,” they hear. The dice have been cast. Make your choice. :: Hotaru and Oxy have chosen the correct path and have 72 hours to respond. :: Choose either the wind tunnel with no moonlight or the moonlit path with no wind and indicate this choice in your post. Your choice need not reflect the magic you seek. |
