The wind carries a veil of snow through the hushed trees as a solitary rider cuts a path through the winter silence. His stallion halts, ears twitching, and the prince’s pale eyes fix on the splash of scarlet marring the white. There, crumpled and breathing shallowly, lies a great arctic fox, its fur stained dark. A weak, pained sound escapes its jaws. Corin’s expression remains carved from ice as he swings down from the saddle and approaches the wounded creature with measured, silent steps.
