Field note: Cryofun
On the glacier the ice creaks, and every breath stands as a small cloud.
Today I come across a Cryofun — tiny · spotted · crystal.
Sparks leap when they are happy. At night you see them from afar — by day you only hear the crackle.
And with a little luck you find an egg where you harvest. Brooded at your tent, a companion hatches from it — it grows as you feed it, and carries a piece of this landscape inside it forever.
If you want to meet one yourself: Glacier. It cannot be caught — only won over.
