The Aerumnan: Redorin & Tryhre

The warriors pulled the furs closer about their bodies, they were massive and thick, clinging tightly to their masses. A thick snow clung to the stark blacks, their faces completely covered. Despite their wary walking along the icy plains of the North, swords would be clear at their backs presented with honor as they traveled on with an unwavering determination. Having spent weeks braving the cruel lands, they'd already lost a valued companion and burying him was a task of days with the conditions of the soil they'd found, his grave unmarked except for a rough collection of sticks at the head, standing triumphantly about the blade centered among them.

A fire was another matter of grave importance, and yet increasing difficulty. Their days were mixed as the snow and mist of wind hanging about the air confused the daylight and light of night. It was noticed how everything was more harsh the farther you trudged..- Few words would be uttered, furthering the impotence of their minds, muffled over short breaks where they'd check their direction or map a land mark, usually a simple change in the ground was all they could find, but mapping was something that must be afforded. As the icy planes would swallow them, suffocating every attempt at escaping.

They'd hardly seen the creature over head, the iced chill biting their skin every place not covered in inches of the furs, at the pit of the arm, elbows, knees and other key joints. As it swooped down and circled, however they'd exchange looks of excitement. Unsure of what it was exactly, but having found anything alive was a miracle in itself for the pair. Though as they could manage glimpses of it and finally heard the massive roar they knew, nearly immediate giving light shakes of their heads and pulling their blades from their sheathes and brandishing them before them defensively, as it cleared they'd go to pull some of the fur from their bodies to afford better movement, pulling it from their faces immediately to clear their vision.
