Chapter II 

Polar Promise

 

The howling winds of Northern Arcas violently toss snow and forest debris through the air as a foreign noise makes itself heard,the sounds of crunching snow beneath a hooded travel’s feet.

The desolate northern lands of Arcas were usually quiet despite the trees that shivered in the wind and the occasional wildlife shenanigans. As the light from the full moon cast an enchanting light where the forest ended and the harsh tundra began. The sounds of crunching snow broke this peace as the dark cloaked figure moved towards the treeline. 

 

The hooded figure moved with grace through the many inches of dense snow that covered the land for miles around. Long white hair blew recklessly from the wind and a bright blue glow reflected from the head of the mysterious traveler. Two well pampered, yet grey, hands rose from the black robes to remove the hood. Snow white hair blew violently in the wind as the witch’s eyes narrowed forward. She kept walking. 

 

Upon reaching a frozen over pond, that was the product of a solid waterfall just a few years further, the ebon adorned witch took a hesitant step forward with her boot just barely gracing the surface of the frozen pond and the rest of her form slowly abandoning the cover of the tree line. She’d raise her hood once again, as if the bushes were not to know who she was. With a few steps she’d make her way across the ice to the waterfall, not once slipping on the tricky terrain.

 

The grey skinned witch raised her hands above her head as the solid waterfall before her began to rumble and shift, warping apart to form a hole right before her with haste. Her glowing blue eyes illuminated a cavern which was hidden behind the ice, and she’d quickly make her way inside before turning her land hand back towards the newly crafted entrance and clenching her fist which just as swiftly patched the opening. 

 

She’d make her way through the narrow stone passageway as the only sound echoing through was the crunching of ice beneath her boots. Suddenly she’d reach an awkward curve in her path, and as she’d move to her left to follow it a faint light would illuminate what seemed like a small room before her. 

 

Within the cavern, large cathedral style candles lit the cave dully as the sounds of multiple legs skittering about the darkness echoed in the ears of the witch. Her lips curled into a devilish smile as she’d her the faint sounds of chewing and hissing coming closer from the dark, what seemed like the legs of a giant centipede would briefly come into view from the fire. 

 

“My baby… I’m sorry for keeping you all cooped up. Would you like to go outside and play? Mama’s going to let you out now.”
