Cresting the cliff, Caleb could see the snow-crusted labyrinth of caves and ravines and steep slopes of the treacherous Northern Mountains. He looked towards the white slopes, scanning the surroundings to catch a whiff of anything other than mist and snow and trees.
"Look over there," said Auril as he pointed to a gap in the mountains on the west. There were two sister peaks that flanked the snow-covered pass. It was at least a mile from where they were.
Caleb narrowed his eyes to see the pass. There was nothing that stood out about it. However, his gaze went to the base of the gap where there were two massive rocky outcrops that weren't covered with the snow. They were naked and looked almost crimson. "That should be the demons' lair!" he said almost certain about it.
"It is going to take us a day to reach!" said Auril, as he looked at the various peaks and stretches in between.
