Black clouds gathered to cover the scorching sun, and brought with him clusters of snow that clumped and were ready to fall at any time. They are just waiting to hear from the wind to know if winter has arrived.
As the air temperature drops, the river water seems to slow down due to its compacting particles. They gathered together and only had to wait for word from the clouds for the snow to fall. They can't wait to freeze and become one with the other.
The monster caravan woke up from their slumber, the night was so cold that they had to hide in the carriage. With thick fur covering the inside, the walls of the carriage remained frozen so the monsters were forced to start a fire inside the carriage.
The smoke rising from the gap in the carriage's roof indicated that the monsters had managed to survive once again from the cold night. They hope that when winter comes they will be well prepared and not freeze in the cold.
