In a forgotten epoch, a solitary prince lay dying within a circle of snow. The December wind drove heavy flakes down, shrouding his motionless form in a soft, white pall. A dark, crimson stain spread slowly through the rich fabric of his noble attire. Each labored breath he took misted visibly in the knife-edged air—a portrait of haunting beauty and dire peril. By the cut of his clothes, he was no wanderer, but a lord of high station, now lost to the heartless winter.
