Chapter 217: Shattered Hearts

Nightfall came when the group stopped again. Unlike before, when they stopped at the first sign of the sun drooping to the ground, they continued through the darkness. They had not been attacked by anything, and the land started to slope upwards once more, but the terrain remained grassy. The slope also revealed the first signs of snow in the distance. Evanna had stopped upon seeing it, but her fascination quickly faded as it was merely white scattered across the lands. 

The drop in temperature, though, was concerning. The furs they retrieved would keep them warm during the night, but daytime, their lighter attire would expose them to frostbite. Evanna knew of such injuries through reading, though she had never met someone who had been inflicted by it.
