As she continued the wisps of smoke kept appearing, always in the same place and always the same color. It must be a settlement rather than a camp.<br/><br/>Even so it would take several days before the Lunar was able to get closer. The mountains were quite large and the only paths were animal trails. As she continued a small storm set in. Nothing that would deter an Exalt, though mortals would find it difficult to travel.<br/><br/>When Yuriko was a day or so away from the smoke she heard something. Animals were all over these mountains, but nothing made sounds like this. A very heavy thump echoed across the valley. It moved slowly, but methodically with almost the exact same timing between each step. Whatever it was it was coming towards her, going in the opposite direction. However, even though the path was straight she couldn't make out what was approaching because of the snowfall.
