The icy wind at the top of the mountain blows a little sharper, fingers of deep cold against her coat, and when it fades away there is a faerie standing in front of her. He regards her curiously for a moment, as surely she does in return. It has the body of a horse, a pegasus, but yet at once it is clear that this is not a being of her own plane and species.
The Ice Fairy has a soft spot for the particularly young, and so its gaze is somewhat softened as he sweeps fathomless blue eyes from the tips of her ears to the end of her tail. And it is a relatively selfless thing she asks, at least on the surface, and so it is one he is inclined to see through to the end. "There are other ways to be strong, that do not involve magic." The voice seems to come from everywhere and nowhere, and his lips aren't moving; perhaps she only imagines she hears it anyway.
"I task you to learn more of those other ways, and then return and if your heart is still true we shall see about your wish."

Drear has rolled a 4 and will be granted a quest. You should complete 3 threads in which she learns about or looks for ways to protect herself without magic and then return to tell us what she has learned.
