"He was the saber-toothed tiger in that pack. He looks incredibly fierce but he's just a big puddy-tat." Jamie giggles. "Rub his belly and you'll be friends for life."
Mikani, meanwhile, seems not to be noticing the cold despite her Magical Princess ensemble!
"It's more tropical where you are?" she asks Sophie.
While keeping an eye on Pearl to be sure she doesn't get cold.
Sallianne's wings begin to slow, but she tosses some pixie dust over herself. After a moment, her wings begin to glow and orange/red, and then she's flying good again.
Pearl leaps at Mikani, shifting into an onion in mid-air, and tries to get caught by her. Wherever she lands, she's shivering. She'll be cold to the touch, and feel harder than usual.
---------------
Halfway up the mountain, the questers will find a cave. This is the direction the Irene's soul is pulling her.
Mikani follows behind Sophie and Irene, concerned for Pearl and keeping her eyes open, frowning as she spots the paintings.
...then sticking her tongue out very maturely at Irene's question.
"Heap big cave tribe, many mammoth, big club," she observes as she studies the paintings.
Irene may notice that the figures in the paintings seem to bear a striking resemblance to Dipsnig and his kind.
As the go further down, one set of paintings looks to be telling a tale.
The first shows a meek and frail goblin. He's cowering from his fellow warriors, who are pointing and laughing at him.
The second shows the same goblin running from a pack of wolves, a spear clutched in his hands.
The third shows the goblin finding a cave. He looks gaunt and pale. His leg is twisted, and he's using his broken spear as a crutch.
The fourth shows him coming to a spring, kneeling down to drink a handful of water. There is a spirit rising up, but he seems unaware.
The fifth shows the goblin when he notices the wraith. There is fear in his eyes, and the wraith seems to be pointing at him. This painting is also painted in brighter colors than those of the past, making it seem to glow in comparison.
The sixth shows the goblin and the wraith merging. There is fear on the goblins face.
The seventh shows a new goblin. This one bold and strong. He's walking toward a village with a broken spear clutched in his hand.
The eighth shows the goblin with blood drenched features. He's standing over a pile of dead male goblins, with two female goblins chained at his feat.
The final painting shows the goblin returning to the cave, six female slaves following close behind.
Coming, coming, Sophie says absent-mindedly as she studies the paintings. So... looks like there's a wraith here that possesses people. We'll need to be very careful.

"...maybe it's not a wraith."
Mikani speaks up after a few minutes' thought, frowning, and looking a bit uncomfortable as to what she is about to suggest.
"Do we know which, um, soul-fragment is supposed to be here?"

"I don't know, but surely it hasn't been that long. I mean... the paintings must be old." Cause they're primitive! She's reasonably sure she doesn't have parts of her that want to subjugate goblins and stuff. Right?

Sophie bites her lip. This is troubling, but we can't discount this possibility. Those paintings are pretty primitive... but maybe there is a tribe of stone-age goblins nearby.
