Suddenly, Captain came to a halt. I nearly fell onto my face... nearly, if my companion hadn't been holding me with an iron vice-like grip. Lifting my weary eyes, I glanced out at the misty, snow covered wasteland. The area looked no different from all the others I've been through; ruins, charred remains of a city square and lots and lots of snow.

I wondered if the mad Governor and Lady of Captania had read my mind, and decided to grant me a nap on the snow. It really made little difference to me at that point. But I would've appreciated it if the Captain hurried up with it already as my body was shutting down.

“Welcome to me lovely casa!”

Captain pointed towards what looked like a tiny cardboard house covered in a deep layer of snow.

“You're kidding, right? You live in... that?” I observed the micro-domicile.

“Why, yes!

Also tiz far bigger on the inside!”

Captain confirmed my worst concerns.

I sat in the snow, refusing to accept this new development. This was a very minor upgrade compared to freezing to death by my lonesome atop a glacier while being pelleted by sleet.

While I was pouting and huffing, Captain slowly reached towards a hanging bell on the side of the mini-house and flicked it.

I angrily turned away, contemplating my extremely poor life choices.
