Everything was covered with a thick covering of snow. Once leafy bushes now lay buried beneath thick blankets that made them look like mere lumps on the landscape, and glimmering, frost-like specks clung to the bark of the trees and made them shimmer. Snow fell lightly from the thick gray clouds above. The air was still, and everything was quiet.
Eaglefeather stepped delicately through the snow filled landscape, blinking when flakes of white snow drifted down close to her blue eyes. The siamese she-cat scanned the forest ahead of her, pausing for a brief moment to survey her surroundings in hopes of finding some form of herbs. There was nothing but shimmering white everywhere she looked, and the river that wound through the trees ahead of her was completely frozen over along the shores. A channel of black, icy water rushed by in an opening in the ice at the middle of the river.
Slowly, Eaglefeather advanced forward again, drawing closer to the river. Leaf-bare was well upon the forest now that the river was nearly frozen over. That was never a good thing- precious herbs that she would need to last through the winter months always shriveled and died quicker than they usually would when the ice came. All of the herbs that had grown beside the frozen river would now be dead, brown, and useless. She had collected some herbs ahead of time, of course, but now those supplies were running low, and she desperately needed more herbs.
