When morning came, Rune and Shiro set out again. The path was wider now which meant that they did not need to cling to the wall, but it didn't make the journey any easier. After reaching higher altitudes they made it to the snowy regions further up.
Fierce winds assailes them while snow blue all around in a violent flurry. The weather had done a complete 180, turning into a blizzard.
'No, this isn't a blizzard...'
It just did not feel like that was the case. Something in Rune's gut told him that this was just normal weather for the Forbidden Mountains. They weren't even any where near the peaks where the weather was at its coldest, yet the elements were already this violent.
He yelled out behind him at Shiro who was following close behind.
"Slow and steady! We just have to make it past this ascending section and the path will dip again!"
