In this section of the book Torak and Renn start to track wolf who had ran off to escape the demon bear. After a short time Torak and Renn find wolf, who had ran in a stream so the bear couldn’t smell him, and continue to journey north. They then reach the ice river. As they are crossing Torak falls into a hole in the ice and must use dear antlers as pickaxes to get back to the surface. When Torak reaches the top everyone is happy and relieved, but then the snowstorm comes!
