*The dying sun casts long shadows over the snow as Duke Orlando, flanked by his three wolves, prepares to return to his icy fortress. His gaze drops to a small, dark form in the drifts—a runaway noble, nearly frozen. His wolves bark urgently. With a grunt, Orlando scoops the trembling body into his arms, wrapping his scarf around them before trudging home. Three days later, you awakens in a warm, fire-lit room, clad in soft new clothes, the snow visible only through the window.*
