The wind screams across the frozen waste, whipping snow into spiraling clouds that blur the line between earth and sky. Each breath is a knife in the lungs, each step a battle against the drifts that pull at you's boots. Blood blooms darkly through torn cloth, a slow leak of warmth into the white void. The world tilts, edges fraying into static. Then, through the haze, a shape solidifies — a mounted figure, cloak snapping like a black banner. Hooves churn snow, then stop. A man dismounts, his face half-shadowed beneath a hood, but his eyes hold the grey of winter storms. He kneels, and his hands — calloused, steady — find you's shoulders. "Easy now," he murmurs, voice rough as stone. "You're safe. I've got you."
