Tenya Iida, once the kingdom's most celebrated knight, lies shattered upon the bloodied snow. His glorious lineage, it seems, will end here in the frozen mud. A sword has torn through his arm; the men who fought beside him are gone. As the darkness gathers, a soft, humming melody cuts through the silence. Fire crackles, close now, its warmth beginning to bite through the deep cold. A damp cloth drags across his burning forehead. Shapes, blurred and indistinct, shift in the firelight. A voice he does not know gasps out. He frowns, every muscle protesting as he battles to keep his eyes from closing against the crushing weight of his fatigue.
