A white blanket draped over the mountain side, covering near all the green and brown of the earth. Instead, a bluish hue lightly washed over the frozen ground reflecting the afternoon sky with white spires shooting upward. Little puffs of snow fell gaily as they rode on the whiffs of biting wind that spun around the trees.
Up the bitter trail was a wood cabin with a stone hearth. It stood as a beacon to the weary traveler who trekked up the belly of the mountain. One could almost feel the warmth of the fire by the smoke trailing from the chimney and the sensation of hot food on the throat. It was larger than your typical wild home, almost as big a city home you'd find in the wealthy quarter.
It was no surprise, as this was one of several halls belonging to the Howle family of Highever. Wanting to make the time to relax from her days in the city, and adventuring, the Lady Veronica Howle, better known to her friends as Serenity, invited a few long time friends to spend a week with her to enjoy the hearth against the bitter cold.
The Lady sported a white fur coat, made from a fox native to this region, and black fur boots. Specks of snow peppered her attire and hair as she stood out on the porch looking out for her companions.
"Oh, this blasted wind..." Serenity cursed as a gust blew hair into her face. Taking a moment to concentrate, the caster began to gather power before expelling a veil around her creating a brief calm from the wind's activity. Several trees around the cabin let go of their burden as the wind veil hit them, allowing for large plops of snow to fall haphazardly.
