Maja and Solena had brought the horses into the entrance of the Whistling Mine to keep them out of the cold and out of sight of any Thalmor patrol. The two women had agreed with the mine supervisor to pay him and the other miners with any iron ore or any other worthwhile material they found. At the same time, they searched the Whaling Crevice for the missing mage apprentices.
When Maya and Sol had emerged from the Whaling Crevice, they had made sure that no patrol was near the entrance before they handed the miners any metals or precious materials that they could exchange for the services of having their horses looked after. It was there that the courier came upon them, and Solena had a sealed message.
Solena and Maja retreated into the cave to read the summons from their guild leader, Nisimar, to travel to Windhelm to meet up with Palindon aboard The Enchantress.
The two women led their horses by their reins as they emerged from the cave and watched the road. Once they were certain no patrol was nearby, they mounted.
The fierce wind blew as the sun was setting, helping to obscure the horses' hoof prints once they left the mine’s road. Maya took the lead on her stallion, and they cautiously wound their path down towards the coastline. Though the elemental spells that Maya had recently learned under Solena’s tutelage helped her to gain confidence that she could handle the threat of the dark form that lived in the deep, icy waters and ice flows of the Sea of Ghosts, she still dreaded going near that place again, even in the company of her friend. This skilled mage had learned a new destructive spell of her own on their recent quest.
As the sun set, wild flurries danced to the tune of the whistling winds, helping to erase any traces of their passage. The blowing storm also made it more perilous and slowed their progress; however, the two women tried to ensure that the horses did not stumble and injure themselves.
They passed standing stones near Snow Vale Sanctum and from there headed southward, making sure that they watched from their higher vantage points on their horses. The two riders reached the riverside, staying close to the high cliff edges and the gritty, frozen shore of the river. They would enter the water only if they needed to, with their horses carrying packs and Maya’s own stallion armored.
They drew closer to the city of Windhelm, the crunching of snow and gritty rocks beneath their horses' hooves a testament to their progress. From that point on, they dismounted and led the horses by their reins.
Upon reaching the docks, they paid a young dockhand enough money to bring their horses to the stables. Next, the two women searched for the description of a sleek, dark vessel that looked far too elegant compared to the other ships docked. Soon, they believed they spied The Enchantress.
