Bobby Braw Fire and Ice

Power of the Wind

Power of the Wind

Mar 30, 2026

It might have been the start of a new day, but the sky was still dark. Thick clouds prevented the sun from pointing its rays at the landscape. Regardless, Narvy, Rita, Elsa and Oliver all instinctively woke up. Everyone climbed down the ladder and went to the kitchen. Oliver grabbed some tea bags out of a jar and put them in a cup, along with some boiling water. Within no time, he had a warm comforting drink for his morning. Narvy approached one of the windows, checking to see what the weather was like.

"It looks okay out there, hopefully that won't change," stated Narvy. "You're right, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, come have some breakfast," replied Oliver. "What do we have?" asked Narvy. "Let's see," muttered Oliver as he opened a nearby bag. "We have bread, eggs, frozen bacon and some noodles," he answered. "I'll take one of these," commented Narvy as he took one of the noodle cups. After peeling the lid, adding sachets and pouring hot water into it, he made himself a simple but filling snack. While that was happening, Rita and Elsa also grabbed a small meal for themselves. "What time should we go out?," asked Rita. "We're almost done with breakfast, so why don't we leave after that," suggested Narvy. "Is that okay?," he asked Oliver. "Sure, I don't see why not," he responded.

Once everyone was done eating, they spent the next five minutes opening bags and grabbing whatever supplies they needed. Just before someone could open the door, Oliver asked numerous questions. "Do you all have enough layers on?,". "Yes," replied Elsa. "Are your thermoses full?,". "Yes," replied Narvy. "Do you have your weapons?,". "Yes," replied Rita. "Do you have a torch?,". "Yes," replied Elsa. "Do you have the rope?,". "Yes," replied Narvy. "Do you have the compass?,". "Yes," replied Rita. "Then what are we waiting for, let's go," announced Oliver.

Upon opening the door, everyone jumped out of the base, locking it as they got out. The scenery looked just like what Narvy saw earlier. Fields of grass were hidden under blankets of snow, and there wasn't any fog to blur out the trees. Only difference was that there was now a small breeze flowing past everything. Tiny particles of ice flew with it. Without wasting any time, the Braw Agents ventured into the surroundings, leaving the base behind.

For the next fifteen minutes, Narvy, Rita, Elsa and Oliver walked past the same things. Wrinkly trees, a couple of rocks and a snowy path that was happy to keep footprints. During all of this, the wind only got stronger and the temperature gradually continued to drop. Just when they thought they weren't going to see anything else, the Braw Agents encountered something that broke the pattern.

It was a large lake that almost spanned across their entire view from both sides. The horizon was still clear, showing the lake bank a couple of small mountains. The water was the same deep shade of blue as the nearby river. However, it was completely static and reflected light in an unusual way. Narvy approached it and slowly dipped his foot into the water. It didn't sink into the cold abyss, but rather landed on it. "What do you say we cross this lake?," he suggested. "No, especially not with this wind," replied Oliver. "But the lake is massive, I don't think we have another option," stated Narvy. "I suppose we can do that, but go very slowly, it will probably be slippery in some areas," explained Oliver.

At that moment, everyone jumped onto the frozen lake. It felt like a hard steel floor. Despite the harsh breeze, nobody had any major issues trying to walk. But that all changed when they got half way across. Oliver was proven right, the lake had gotten a lot more slippery. A thin sheet of water was brushed across the remainder of the area. "I know it's time consuming, but just shuffle along like this," explained Oliver. He walked across the lake very slowly, barely moving his legs apart. While doing this, he used his staff as a support beam.

Knowing Oliver meant well, Narvy, Rita and Elsa all did what he suggested, albeit without a balancing support. Everyone managed to walk a fair distance. That was, until Narvy tripped over and almost slid all the way to the lake bank. "ARE YOU OKAY?," shouted Oliver. "YES, I'M NOT HURT OR ANYTHING" shouted Narvy. He was sitting on the frozen chunk of water, trying to figure out how to get back up. The strong blizzard, the slippery surface and the lost energy from tripping all made it impossible. So he decided to just shuffle over to the lake bank. After watching, Rita came up with an idea. She sat on the lake and pushed herself forwards. Within a couple of seconds she slid all the way to the lake bank. Shortly after, Elsa decided to do the same thing. Oliver didn't want to risk injuring himself, so he continued to use his original method. Narvy, Rita and Elsa waited as he took his time to get across.

From there, the Braw Agents walked towards the mountain range. At that point, the temperature had reached an all time low. The blizzard had also become so powerful, it started to disrupt everyone's senses. Three minutes into the walk, Oliver stopped and turned around. "We have to go back to the base," he announced. "But we have to find that castle, it might be on one of those mountains," commented Narvy. "It is not safe out here," explained Oliver. "We'll search for the castle by driving around," he added.

At that moment everyone followed him back to the lake. "Should we go sliding again?," asked Rita. "I wouldn't if I were you," answered Oliver. "But how are we going to get across, it's big, slippery and we don't know how to walk around it," explained Rita. Narvy had been holding his crossbow throughout the entire journey. Upon looking at the rope, an idea grew in his mind. He tied the rope to one of his arrows, put it in the bow and shot a tree in the distance. The arrow was now stuck in the tree crown, and the rope was draped across the entire lake. "Do this," requested Narvy as he grabbed ahold of the rope, before it could fly around chaotically. He then used the rope as a climbing tool while it was being flailed violently. Once he had gone up a fair bit, Rita, Elsa and Oliver followed him.

Throughout the climb, everyone was blown around, while gripping onto the rope as tight as possible. When they finally reached the other side, Narvy pulled his arrow out of the tree root and explained his next step. "Let's climb down this tree, it's got plenty of branches, it should be safe." Without any hesitation, everyone crawled down, while trying to withstand the wild blizzard. Once they had all reached the ground, Narvy, Rita, Elsa and Oliver ran through the forest. For the next fifteen minutes, everyone got hit with a thick harsh breeze. Despite how cold they all felt, the Braw Agents pushed on, knowing there was something good waiting for them. After a frigid walk that felt way longer than it actually was, they found what they needed. A large dark green contraption lay in the middle of the snowy field. Once the door was unlocked, everyone got in as soon as possible.

Oliver went to the base's heater, and turned it to the highest setting. Shortly after, he got into the driver's cab. Even with the powerful heating, Rita took the ladder to the second floor and wrapped her blankets around her. Elsa had drunk all of her coffee on the walk, so she went to the kitchen and made herself another one. "Where are you going to drive us?," asked Narvy. "I'm not sure, I'll just drive around until we find the castle," explained Oliver. "We'll go as soon as I defrost the windscreen," he added. Ten minutes later. Narvy heard some sounds from the driver's cab. First was the sound of the key turning, and then the roar of the engine. Within no time, the base left its original spot and went on a journey to the castle.
