The goat stared into its own reflection. It bleated. Content.

Big goat eyes looked over the thawing icicles. A long goat tongue came out
and began to lick the dripping icicles that were the telltale signs of the
coming spring thaw.

Mmmmm. Crack... Crack... Crack. Crack. Crack.

The goat bleated! Took two hops sideways, and darted off as the cliff face of
ice came crashing down. In the early thawing spring, a gold elf stood up from
it all. She was similar to a high elf in nature, only that she looked like
the earlier royal bloodlines and had the facial features one would see in the
historic Darsylon portraits...an ancient line of the first high elves, but
far more wild in lineage.

She breathed deeply, filling lungs that had long since sought air. For her,
she woke from a dreamless slumber she had only just fallen into.

Suddenly there was another crash as a chuck of ice, no, an object of some
sort... hit the ground behind her and shattered on the newly revealed, shallow
streams rocky bottom.

She looked down and confusion reigned on the young female elven face. Chunks
of a jade hourglass with golden wyverns could almost be made out, but they no
longer seemed alive and it was all so... old. She sought to gather a few
pieces in their chunks of ancient ruin. They began to crumble, unnaturally so
in rapid decay. She sighed at what she assumed was its natural defense
against treasure hunters. What a price for her friends life last night.

She stood there a long time. The mountains seemed different and even the
valleys had changed. She shook her head. She must have really hurt herself in
that fall and was lucky to be alive.

Carefully she set out. Looking around for the undead from last night, but
confident she wouldnt see them in the bright sunlight of the jade
mountains.

The first thing she would do would be to meet the Sylvan Warders for this
seasons training. Then she would send word back to the Cult of the Golden
Dragon about Llewyn's tragic passing.
