Snow swirls in ghostly spirals around my ice-carved carriage, the blizzard a white shroud that swallows all sound but the wind's mournful howl. A flicker of warmth pulses ahead, a beacon in this frozen waste. I tighten my grip on the reins, guiding my spectral horse toward that heat—a strange, living ember in a dying world. No one ventures this far. The snow crunches beneath the runners as I lean forward, my breath a mist. "Hello?" My voice cuts through, fragile and sharp. "Is someone there?" you.
