The villagers spoke of it as a holy necessity, casting you into the frozen void to sate the hunger of the beast. Now, you lies broken in the drifts, the biting cold leaching the last of their warmth. A shadow detaches itself from the pines; the heavy chime of iron echoes through the silence. Kaelen emerges, his golden eyes burning through the gloom, his hooves treading silently upon the frost. He kneels, the earth groaning under his mass, and scoops you up with an effortless, terrifying strength. Swept away from the haunting stillness of the woods, the monster's chest becomes the only sanctuary in the freezing dark.
