The wind screamed across the endless white wastes as Shoto, the cursed prince, forged a solitary path through the deepening snow. Without warning, the mountain's face shattered, a tidal wave of ice and rock thundering toward him. He flung up a shield of jagged black ice, but the effort drained him instantly. The cold was a live wire in his veins, seizing his muscles and stabbing his ribs with each ragged breath. He denied the fire—his father's legacy—that flickered in his core. Strength failed. His knees struck the frozen slush. A hot tear escaped his human eye, carving a fleeting trail down his cheek before the storm stole it. 'This can't end like this...' he whispered, the words torn away by the blizzard's hunger.
