The carriage was pulled by two horses. The journey to Birwick Village turned out to be quite difficult. After passing through the forest where she first released Ronan's deer, they had to go around one of the hills. Because if they used the normal route, it would take up to three days to reach the destination village.
Thus, Kael took them through a more complicated shortcut. They passed through a part of the forest that was not too dark. They also passed ravines and wooden bridges that were rarely used.
Arielle tried to look out the window and was amazed to see a row of hills that were quite high and steep. Below them flowed a river. Arielle frowned, feeling strange. Ronan said the Birwick area was very cold, and Arielle had confirmed it. It got cold easily here, but how could there be a river that flowed here? Meanwhile, they had just passed through a frozen lake.
