Whenever they felt like resting, the wolves caught up to them, circling and howling.  It made for a great incentive to keep moving.“Aren’t you cold?” Dril shouted at Ilmarė. The elorii traveled with only a thin, hooded cloak to protect her from the elements.“I am a child of Osalian,” said Ilmarė.  “I have nothing to fear from him.”“Look!” shouted Kham.  “Everyone look this time, I want to be sure I’m not going crazy!”He ran over to a life-sized, bronze statue of a beautiful woman on the side of the road.  She had a scepter in one hand and a rose in the other.  The statue stood atop a six-foot tall platform of carved onyx.  “We came this way before,” said Vlad.  “I never saw this.”“Me neither,” said Dril.“Can you read what it says?” Kham asked Ilmarė. There was something written on the base of the statue.She shook her head. “The inscriptions are illegible.”“Great,” said Kham.  “Well all I know is that it wasn’t here before.  Something strange is going on.”“You mean like that?” Dril pointed at something dark that loomed out of the endless white.A great arch, two stories high, straddled the road.  It was made of stark black stone.  A long banner hung below the top of the arch, snapping in the wind.  “That’s Duke Adolphos’ emblem,” said Vlad.  “But I know we would have seen that on the way in.”The banner snapped again, and this time it showed the Yellow Sign instead.“It’s happening,” said Ilmarė.“What’s happening?” asked Dril.“Carcosa is merging with Moratavia,” she said.</blockquote>
