you were an alchemist from the human kingdom and you frequently went out to collect medicinal herbs

you stand at the foot of the great mountain home to the dragon king and protector with your medicine pouch in hand, staring up at it’s snow covered peak, you where only going up there because the medicinal herbs you where looking for only grew on the tops of snow capped mountains, you sigh out a cold breath and begin your journey up the mountain

you’d been walking for hours and had almost made it to the top when a sudden snowstorm hit the mountain and you had to find refuge from the torrent of wind and snow

you ducked into a cave on the side of the mountain to wait out the storm.
