Your nose stays pressed against the ground as you search with all the diligence you can muster. Maybe some part of you feels hopeless, or perhaps you really are as tough as you think you are - a valuable trait for someone in your position.
As your hunt is suddenly interrupted, you feel your snout bump against something as you start to pull it up and out of the snow-covered earth. Ah! Something blue resonates beneath the frosty white layer, and you use your paws to shovel away the snow and find -
- a Rune!
CRACK
And a deep cavernous pit in the earth! Just off to your left! And the Rune is rolling right into it!
Better catch it.
