Romani
Frostfall was upon them.
It had only just begun, and already Romani could tell it would be a long, bitter winter. The Haflinger's shaggy, palomino coat hung in layers about her bulky frame, thick, course golden-red hairs covered in ice and frost. The strands of the mare's ivory mane and tail hung in icy tendrils. Chunks of frozen snow clung to her hooves, making her steps heavy and cumbersome, but the gypsy's destination was clear and in sight, and with it, her determination grew. All in all, she was a poor sight to behold. She had been traveling all through the day, crossing the frozen wasteland that had become Helovia and heading towards the one place that used to be her home.
"Just a little longer, sweet," Romani murmured to Kasai, tired azure eyes glancing back to the white tigress that trekked tiredly through the snow a few paces behind her. "We're almost past the wall." Or what was left of it, at least. Ever since the darkness crossed Helovia, the once proud Glass Wall had since fallen into ruin and disrepair. Hopefully someone would have pity on her, should anyone be out and about in such brutal chill. Maybe Kaj would be there to greet her, or Destrier. Maybe Archibald would find her and permit her entrance to the World's Edge, at least for the winter... Didn't he say that the Edge was his new home?
Gods only knew if she would make it on her own in the Wild's this winter.
The pads of Kasai's paws were dry and flaking, cracked in places and clearly causing pain for the Companion. The tigress stepped with a noticeable limp, suffering from the cold just as Romani was. Snow clung to the feline's striped coat with a vengeance, and made travel extremely difficult.
'Cold, Roma... Even for this one.' Kasai's voice whispered in the back of her mind, and the Haflinger snorted sympathetically in response. Mist floated upwards towards the sky from the action.
"I know. Come, Kasai; not much longer." They just had to press on, that was it. The sooner they reached the wall, the sooner they could find a soul who dwelled within the Edge. Hopefully. Slow, measured steps brought the pair closer to the remains of the Glass Wall, and Romani sucked in a lungfull of crisp air within her lungs before neighing loudly, hoping that the silence of Winter would help carry her beckoning sound further into the land she had once called home.
