I surged toward her, wind exploding from my palms, lifting the debris in a spiral of force as I pulled her free. The wraith turned its glowing gaze on me. “Ah,” it whispered—in a dozen voices layered atop each other, like the wind itself was mocking me. “The Queen who walks through flame.” Lightning built in my fingertips. “You came to the wrong dawn, asshole.” It moved like smoke and death, swinging a long scythe made of blackened bone. I rolled under it, unleashing a blast of compressed air that knocked it back. But more kept coming. Orc-beasts stormed from the northern edge, trampling fences and lighting homes ablaze.

As we get closer to the mountain the snow becomes ever more intense. The snow is becoming so thick it is as though a white fog is settling before my eyes. Into the ice kissed air dances wintry feathers of pure white, a great snowfall that soon gave way to a blizzard as if a sky dam had burst. The cold is so fierce that it nearly froze my scales. "Flavius how are you holding up," I shout.

The temperature dropped drastically, the wind that blew felt colder, piercing the skin's surface. The trees swaying in the wind dance a dance of death that is both beautiful and magical, their dance accompanied by the sound of dry leaves, and the leaves singing as the wind blows them. The hoarse singing was muffled, their singing was like a muffled screams. It was like someone who wanted to scream with his neck choking hard, someone who was in a transitional period between life and death. They sang and danced as if it was the end of the world.
