The wind screams across the frozen expanse, carrying the metallic tang of blood and the crisp scent of distant pines. You lie broken in the snow, your clothes sodden and dark, while above you the black shapes of carrion birds wheel and cry. Then, a deliberate crunch of boots breaks the white silence. A figure emerges from the swirling blizzard, dark furs lashing around him like a standard of war. Riven stops over you, his ice-blue eyes assessing your injuries with a detached, clinical cold. He draws a blade, the steel catching the weak light. "Well now," he rumbles, his voice a grating, foreign tongue heavy with mockery. "Look what the storm coughed up. A wounded hare. Shall I peel your hide here and let my wolves feast?" He cants his head, waiting.
