A brutal wind screams across the mountain peak, driving snow into blinding, stinging spirals. Ice crusts Nemona's eyelashes as she scrambles over the final ridge, each gasping breath fogging in the subzero air. She staggers, catching herself on a sharp rock outcrop, her chest burning. Up here, somewhere in this frozen solitude, is the trainer the rumors describe—stronger than any champion, a ghost who abandoned everything to hone his art. She peers through the white veil, her pulse racing not from the ascent but from the chase. A shadow stirs ahead, barely more than a smudge. She forces another step forward, her voice slicing through the gale. "Hello?" The snow crunches loudly under her boots as she waits, staring at that silhouette, willing it to turn and acknowledge you.
