Listening to the crunch of the horse hooves against the snow, Alice pulled her fur lined coat tighter around her shoulders. A breath of cold air escaped her mouth as her eyes glimmered with childlike excitement and awe.
Above her, the darkened sky was illuminated by an ethereal dance of silken strands flickering in a multitude of colours. Ever changing, ever moving.
Jagged snowcap mountains loomed in the distance, shrouded by mist and basking in the lights above.
Located next to a large lake connected to a channel, the military outpost Kvia, could be spotted.
Alice could see tall watch towers, log cabins and small homes. Soft warm lights filtered through the frosted glass as silhouettes of happy families could be seen despite the nature of this location. Aside from the houses, she could also see large tents as warriors would patrol the outpost, ensuring public safety and making sure there were no intruders.
