Snowcaves

Following a welcome rest, and wonderful food, in Tam's castle we've headed further North into the Glassy Mountains. Tam has given me fur skins to keep warm as we head higher and higher into the snow levels.

During our slow ascent into the heavens, Tomepicker has become agitated ever since I told him where we're going. He's become so unpredictable, and seems to want to rush onwards towards this Drakenest place.

The mountain is extremely cold, and the snow underfoot is making my progress very slow and difficult. With Tomepickers help we dug out a snowcave, just large enough for both of us to rest in overnight. I threw some of the fur skins down, whilst wrapping up in the remaining ones and slept overnight in the cave.

Tomepicker slept at the entrance and helped keep the worst of the icy winds out. This morning I've taken a drink of snow water and herbs, warmed by Tomepicker, and recorded my thoughts in this diary. We'll be heading onwards shortly.
