A snow covered forest's placid atmosphere is suddenly disturbed a crashing sound like thunder. A vast airship had collided into a vast pine tree; now its balloon was tangled in its branches and the cab had fallen to the ground. A small poncho-clad yellow, blue and red kobold happily steps out from the cab, behind him a blue one wearing a red headband groans and presses his hands to his face.
“Well that was a great landing don't you think?” the yellow one asks.
“That was the worst airship landing I've ever experienced,” the blue one replies, shivering in the cold. “Are you even sure you know what you're doing Altallo?”
“Well it was a pretty shoddy airship if you ask me,” Altallo replied, scoffing at the balloon, “Great clumsy thing, not elegant and smooth riding like an Eternal ship. Anyway, lets go see where we are shall we Soala?”
Soala sighs and follows, but not before diving back into the crashed ship for some winter clothes. Pushing their way through dead, leafless undergrowth they find themselves at the edge of a vast a snow plain. The only features were some hills and a few, sturdy shrubs and small trees. The only sound was the whispering of the wind through branches.
“Where do you think we are?” Altallo asks casually, as if he were asking Soala about a nice picnic spot.
“Its cold, its nasty and there's not even a decent tavern in sight. I'd say it was probably Torabia.”
“Looks quite nice doesn't it?” Altallo was looking back to the pine forest “Yes, yes, very nice. I'm sure I'll like it here. You never know there may be unique wildlife around here that have adapted to the clime-”
Soala was only vaguely listening to Altallo, he had spotted something nearby. One of the snowy hills was moving.
“-of course in some places you can find people living here. Like on this little planet I used to live on called Earth had-”
“Whats that?”
“What is what?” Altallo huffs “I was in the middle of a speech.”
“That over there.” Soala points to the hill.
Altallo squints at it and then his whiskers droop.
“That is a hill, Soala.” he grunts.
“A hill that moves? Watch it.”

The hill shakes slightly and some snow drops off it. Altallo shrugs.
“Eh, its just the wind.”
Then they hear a loud sigh.
“That was no gust of wind.” Soala says.
“Lets go have a look!” Altallo replies, happily clapping his hands together
“Whoa, hold on there you!” Soala grabs Altallo's tail. The yellow kobold glares back at him. “Just think about this, its something that sounds big and we don't know what it is. It could grab us and tear us apart.”
“Nonsense.” Altallo snorts, fluffing his poncho “I have a long history of experience. You're just like my past human self, always so scared and meek. We need action!”
“The human you was smarter and more careful.” Soala whispers to himself, rolling his eyes.
