Chapter 186 Seeds again
The next morning, Henry and his army, along with a dozen dwarves, including the five elders, made their way along a narrow mountain path. The wind howled around them, biting at their faces and threatening to sweep them off the edge as they marched in a long line. The path had been carved by the dwarves themselves over the centuries, designed for their build and size, offering the humans little room for error. Each step had to be taken with caution, their feet carefully placed on the snowy, rocky trail.
Yngvi and the four other dwarf elders were bathed in a strange light. Yngvi swallowed nervously. "Descendant, is it really that simple?" he asked, unable to hide his surprise as snow continued to fall from the mountains, like a white waterfall. Thankfully, the narrow path they were on protected them from the worst of it. "Yes, it's that simple" - Henry said confidently, patting his chest where the remaining Torch Tree Seeds were stored, small seeds that had saved him many times before. The elders looked like they wanted to ask if he had more of those seeds, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by loud howls echoing through the valley. One howl was louder and more sorrowful than the rest, like a mother watching her child die.
"It's the matriarch!" - Yngvi whispered, fear clear in his voice. The matriarch was the most ancient and powerful Ice Giant. According to some texts, it was the first Ice Giant to see the sunlight out of the hole. It was the one to dig the hole with its own hands.
