In The Wings Event 2021

Jack held his wings close to his body, he knew the area he was going through would be coated in snow, and yet he came underprepared for the cold weather anyways, at least the feathers on his wings helped provide some warmth. 

“Cold? I told you to bring a better jacket,” his brother remarked as he walked behind him. 

“I’m fine, thank you very much. I can handle a little cold.” Jack sneered and stepped over a large pile of snow, kicking his foot back so a few clumps of it flew onto Ace. Ace glared at him silently before wiping the snow off his pants and picking up his pace slightly so that he was walking next to Jack instead of behind.

They continued their trek in silence as they reached the peak of a large hill. Jack took a moment to scan his surroundings from this vantage point, hoping to find something that looked valuable, or even just something interesting glinting in the sunlight. He had heard that many exploration groups would also be searching the area, and despite the land’s vast size, Jack expected to see at least one other person out here other than Ace and himself. Yet he was met with silence. A vast ocean of snow dotted with trees, everything was still out here, as if he was staring into a picture, with only the cold wind to remind him that he was indeed there. 

A tap on his shoulder brought Jack out of the moment. He turned to see Ace staring at him with a questioning look, “Did you freeze or something?” he said and handed Jack a protein bar. Ace grabbed a second protein bar out of his bag and opened it as he looked in the general direction that Jack was looking at before. 

They both ate while looking at the beautiful scenery then discussed which direction to head off in next, maybe the next spot will have something worth finding.
