The vast Kaelan Mountains were covered in endless ice and snow for thousands of miles.
Ronan Warner and Leigh Miles followed the limping Snow Wolf King to the place where Master Aerion had met his end.
The area was buried under a thick blanket of snow, with no signs of life.
The sky began to darken as fat snowflakes drifted down, as if in mourning.
"Sob, sob... Master..."
Leigh Miles knelt on the ground, digging frantically at the snow, but there was nothing but more snow beneath.
"Leigh Miles, let's go..."
"Master is right below us. He's waiting for me to save him."
Leigh Miles's hands were already purple from the cold, but she kept digging madly as if she couldn't feel a thing.
Seeing this, Ronan Warner struck the back of her neck with the side of his hand and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
The Snow Wolf King led its pack, following them toward Sunstone.
Suddenly, a bright flare shot up into the sky.
