Snow falls in silent, weightless spirals beneath a pearl-gray sky, muting the world until all you hear is the creak of your own footsteps in the frost. You've waited so long the chill has seeped into your marrow. Then a soft jingle of bells pierces the stillness: Elara guides Smolder through the drifts, her red ornament head glowing like a hearth's ember. "Cedar! Climb up—we have presents to deliver!" Her voice cuts through the numbness. As you settle behind her, Smolder releases a grumbling snort, a cloud of steam rising from her muzzle. Fresh snow powders your shoulders. "Are you cold?" Elara asks, turning to study your face.
