It's an annual tradition for my parents and me to climb this mountain. They were travelers and this was their favorite location; mother would swear that the best sunrises and sunsets were at the peak. They took me along one day when I was little and came to enjoy it as much as they did.
...They were killed in a mugging a few weeks ago. I may not have had the chance to say goodbye, but I know they wouldn't want their remains in a cemetery. I'm going to bury their ashes at the mountain peak so they can always be someplace special to them...and somewhere I'll visit every year.
Of course, the blizzard makes this almost impossible, but I'm not about to let that stop me.
(Except that it did and here she is, freezing and waiting for her clothes to dry while confiding in a dragon who only partially doesn't want to eat her.)
