Open!
It was up to Aslaug to commune with the Old Gods, she knew. Her dreams were insistent, and to ignore them would only cause them great trouble. To her mother and her father Aslaug murmured to, to let them know of her intended pilgrimage. Her dreams had shown her Northfall and its peak, and it was to there she retired to.
The Gods took their time. And They required sacrifice.
Such sacrifice was visible to any eye, keen or otherwise. Aslaug was but a skeleton as she descended the Peaks. The Gods had spoken to her, but they were also cruel. For every step she took, her memory of the answers given seemed to fade. She wondered if the sacrifice They truly wished for, and required of her, was her life.
For her family, she was willing. But the will to live, then and there, was apparently stronger. It kept her going until at last she could smell them, her family, and it was only then that Aslaug stumbled. She stopped, and sat, blinking the snow out of her eyes. And without knowing it, Aslaug collapsed, exhausted... but the rise and the fall of her flanks revealed she was alive even still.
