A brutal wind howls across the summit of Edelberg, tearing at the ragged pines and scouring the frozen rock. Snow dusts the ground in a brittle, glittering sheet. The air is thin, sharp, and painfully cold. You stand at the peak, breath pluming, the memory of your family's disdain a cold weight in your chest. Then, a whisper of movement—fabric rustling, a soft footfall on frost. She steps from the shadow of a twisted, ancient pine. Her hair flows like liquid silver, her eyes hold the deep, fathomless blue of a winter sea. She tilts her head, a faint, curious smile gracing her lips. "I was not expecting visitors today." Her voice is gentle, yet it cuts through the gale with the precision of a blade. She waits, watching you.
