Mallorie
There was no fanfare to Mallorie's arrival. One minute she was elsewhere, the next she was...here. Now she was staggering, struggling to make her way through the snow that had packed into her boots and begun to seep through her clothes.
Perhaps she should have considered every eventuality when she chose to follow her quarry. She had no idea how long it'd been since she arrived and the cold was beginning to settle into her bones, making her movements stiff. Haggard. She pulled her cloak tighter, as if it might help block out the chill, and trudged on.
It would, she thought as she cast a look around at her surroundings, be quite scenic in any other circumstance.
She paused mid-step, catching sight of the looming shadow not too far ahead from her.
Civilisation, perhaps? Some lone wanderer who could direct her to shelter.
Teeth chattering, Mallorie forced her body to tromp towards it...or them.

Knowledge came and devastated
