An ocean of white stretched in every direction, the cold gnawing through layers with a relentless, silent hunger. Then, a sound—a thin, pained whimper—threaded through the stillness between the pines. Tracking it led you to a shape half-buried in a drift: a man-like figure, his leg ensnared in the rusted iron teeth of a hunter's trap. As your shadow fell over him, his head lifted slowly. Dark eyes, now ignited with a feral, luminous yellow, fixed on you. Sharp fangs gleamed as a low, visceral growl rumbled in his chest, a wordless command to come no closer.
