The Shadow Walkers: Moving Into The Cold



After they rested through the night, The Shadow-Walkers finally got up and readied themselves to the journey as much as possible. The travellers took on the warmest clothes they had with them. Then, after having a meal they mounted up and moved away from Ost Forod, towards the border. Everyone remained silent while they were moving through the open fields, spotting the movements of the tomb-robbers in the distance. 
The cold welcomed them as they moved through the border. The fellowship moved more into the region and it finally started snowing also the temperature was lowering dramatically. The Forngarmo looked around as she ventured deeper into the ice desert. "Oh my... Halbarad, why did you sent me here again?" - She quietly said to herself then glanced back at the others following her."Let's make haste." - She said again and that were her last words until they reached the first camp of the Lossoth, they let their horses rest there a bit and then moved further. 
A long ride it was, through the Ice-crack of Ja-Kuru and then towards Kauppa-Kohta. At least they managed to do that before the darkness fell. They reached the second camp and rested there. The weather was awful. Even the heavy cloaks, blankets and fires were not helping them much. They ate and then rested overnight to be able to move with haste towards the Suri-Kyla. There was not much time they could spend in such cold safely so the ranger knew that they shouldn't make more stops on the way. 
Through the desert they kept moving, sometimes pursued by the enemies. Anyway the two kept fending them away from the hobbit. Through the snow, through the cold they kept moving towards the safety, and for the ranger to fullfil her task. The two, Elf and Hobbit seemed to be of a good humour, while The Forngarmo stayed silent and separated from them, leading the group through the ice pathes. Sometimes they kept encountering the Gauredain, but the one kept the group beyond their sight. They hastened their movement and reached the Lake's shore really fast. The shapes of the town, capital of the Lossoth was able to be seen in the distance.
