When Snow wanders out of the fog, she'd immediately notice how the chill seems to cling to her - probably because she would be able to tell after a moment that she's within the confines of some kind of cave. There's a torch set in a holder against the wall on the far side, where she can make out a number of paintings, mostly animals depicted in a primitive but beautiful style.

[The hair on Snow's arms raises suddenly, the first breath that she takes feeling like ice to her lungs. Then, a wave of confusion washes over her. Where is she? How did she get here? She tries to reach into her mind to find some familiarity for this place, but it just...doesn't surface. The only thing that her mind allows is that where she came from, there were trees- a town nearby. Now, she's standing within a dank cave. She can feel who she is, but as far as digging up memories? Everything is a blur. All is dark, save the slight flickering of the torch flame nearby. Instinct draws her close to it, and when she raises it from its setting, she is astonished by what she sees.

Cave paintings. Regardless of their age, they seem to be beautifully preserved, as the detailing is easily visible. Fascinated, she gingerly raises a hand, letting her forefinger graze the rock along the bottom edge of the artwork.]
