"Let's go Northward," I suggested.
"To ADVENTURE?!" Uberbob inquired.
"If it comes to that, maybe."
We left the kitchen through the Northern door, and were suddenly back outside in the freezing cold. I wished we could have taken the nice warm fireplace in the dining room with us, then wondered why Uberbob hadn't attempted to in the first place. On either side of the mansion were huge, rocky mountains, but stretching Northward was a trail that lead directly between them. The sun had risen over the horizon and bathed the snowy terrain in an orange light. It was pretty.
