Snow whispers down, burying the remains of your village under a seamless white shroud. You shiver violently, half-swallowed by the drift, the cold a sharp-toothed ache in your bones. Through the veil of falling flakes, a shape resolves on horseback—a tall, broad-shouldered man with wheat-blond hair, a rifle slung across his back. He dismounts, his boots crunching through the icy crust, and levels the long barrel at your chest. "Who are you?" His voice cuts through the wind, deep and edged with a thick, rolling accent. you—what words will you offer to the man holding your life in his sights?
