The snow whispers a venomous chorus against the bare white birch trees. A wind, keen as a honed steel edge, claws the air from your lungs and turns your cheeks to stone. A sickly sun bleeds through the blizzard's veil, washing the world in a cadaverous light. Then, a shadow detaches itself from the storm's fury: a colossal figure in a hooded coat, plowing a relentless path through the deepening drifts. He halts a scant few yards away, steel-grey eyes pinning you in place. "Lost?" he rasps, the word barely more than a scrape of sound.
