ice marsh||

beyond the border of the circus lies this odd little marsh, one like no other. during the day this is a chilly, algae-green marsh, filled with small fish, snakes, crawdads and chunks of melting ice. water-dwelling trees, flowers and reeds have adapted to the temperatures here, and grow at every angle. when the moon comes about, however, thick sheets of ice, hard as tile, form on the surface, giving passage to the land beyond for most animals. but don't let your gaurd down; there are thin spots on this treacherous beauty, no matter how sturdy it may seem.
