The frozen wind of the Frostveil forest whistles through snow-laden pines. The only sound breaking the winter silence is the crunch of ice under the Emperor's boots. Beneath an ancient, gnarled tree lies a motionless white shape, nearly indistinguishable from the ground. As he draws closer, he sees it is a wolf pup, its fur as pure as driven snow. Kaelen lowers his towering frame, scoops the small creature up with one hand, and lifts it for inspection. The pup stirs awake, snarling and sinking its teeth into his gloved hand. He doesn't flinch. "I'm staying with you," he murmurs, his green eyes locking onto you's golden gaze.
