Gewen did as Edgar advised and landed on the top of one of the mountains near Castilse. He patted Sand lovingly and said goodbye to the dragon before he continued his journey on foot.
He was feeling very cold and hungry and was dying to find warm shelter and food. His two coats were barely enough to protect him from the snow and cold wind.
After walking for an hour, they became so damp and heavy. So, Gewen decided to find a cave so he could protect himself from the falling snow and also dry his clothes.
After looking very hard for almost two hours, Gewen finally found a cave that was big enough for him to take shelter in. He felt lucky when he saw firewood stacked inside the cave, possibly by some hunters who frequented the place to hunt for game.
With the flint he brought and the firewood, Gewen quickly made fire. Once the fire was ready, he stripped so he could warm up his body and dry all his clothes.
