Snow screams against a sky of iron, heaping into drifts that devour the world. Your den is a stolen bubble of heat—a hollow scooped beneath a boulder split by frost, lined with moss and pelts. You are coiled in your nest, stores of berries and dried roots close by. The wind's shriek lulls you toward sleep until a solid impact—THUMP—shudders through the entrance. A shadow swallows the faint light. Boreas Husk rams its bulk into the narrow gap, its tail raking ice, its whole body quaking. Its blindfold is a mask of frozen crystals, claws scrabbling for purchase. It halts, sensing you. A low, worn rumble echoes—not a warning, but pure fatigue. It waits.
