Garlan raised his shoulders. "True, but taking a little peek inside their city couldn't hurt. I mean, what if they are planning some sort of war? Or have some other secret weapon? Like the weapon that made these Beasts?"

As the group wandered on they would eventually take notice of the huge Horker Beast taking a nap along the snowy shores, presumably the same creature that had called out to a female who had never replied. Although Horkers Beasts were also classified as Beasts with  predatory  instincts, the same kind that could devour people, hostile encounters with them were seldom and rarely reported. Nevertheless, they would have to be on their guard as to not provoke it.

The Horker Beast eyed them from afar, but did little to show any particular interest in the passing group. Either it was too tired or too replete on slaughterfish to care about them. As they came closer, it slightly raised its head for a moment, observing them warily before curling up and putting its gigantic head to rest on some nearby cliffs by the shoreline.

Although Ran'Jinro had claimed that the passage was a shortcut, it didn't feel like it. Evelyne felt as if she had been staring at the same rocks and cliffs forever.

"Almost there, lass", ensured the Khajiit.

"That's what you said an hour ago!"

He shrugged. "You really loose track of time out here. You know that, right? That was twenty minutes ago."

"It feels like an hour", she sighed. "Maybe more."

"Just hold out for a little while longer", he said. Tick neighed beneath him. "That goes for you as well, girl."

Within a short moment's notice the hooves of the horses traversed a snowy ridge, bringing them up to the top of the mountain where the wind whipped the sharp cliffs and almost pushed them back down over the edge.

"Keep going, lass!" said the Khajiit in encouragement. "I can see the walls from here! Kilkreath is within sight!"
