"Here," Galhardir said, as he led the way through some icy stones, and paths. "It's a bit slippery, so you may want to be careful," he then continued.

Annû and Rög noticed it soon enough, and tried to stay on their feet. It was easier for Galhardir, as he was well aware of the terrain. He had been there a hundred times before. He knew where the best places to find nice and fresh water were hidden. It wasn't always as easy as one would think, because often the water would be strongly affected by the ocean and the salt.

"It's not too far from here," Galhardir then said turning to Rôg who was right behind him. "Where is Annû?" He then asked, as he noticed that the elf had disappeared. "He is right behind us," Rôg told him. "Oh," Galhardir replied, as he saw the elf appear just behind one of the big icy rocks. "We wouldn’t want to loose you, would we?" Galhardir said teasingly, continuing forwards.

A few minutes past, and more walking followed. Finally, they reached the spot that Galhardir had recommended earlier. It was a nice, hidden field between some hilly areas filled with clean, pure ice. It was a magnificent view for those who hadn’t seen anything like it before. "Is this it?" Rôg asked, seeming a bit insecure about the place. "Indeed," Galhardir said proudly. "This ice is as pure and clean as it can get....We'll just chop something off over there, and we're ready to go," Galhardir said, leading the way once again.

Rôg and Annû followed willingly, wherever Galhardir led. They walked on a small icy path, but this wasn't as slippery as it had been before. Some were more grateful for that than others.

"Are you ready?" Galhardir said stopping for a moment. "Aye," Rôg replied.

Together the tree of them managed to dig some of the top ice, which was looser than the rest, and bring it back to the fireplace where Carandu and Rodhal were waiting eagerly for their return.
