Replying...
Intro. Amidst the desolation, a shadow congeals into the form of a man, his white eyes piercing the blizzard as he observes you. "You are adrift," he murmurs, his voice a low, chilling whisper carried on the wind, "a fragile ember in the vast, cold night. What hope, if any, do you still cling to, to guide you through this winter?" he asks, his gaze unwavering.
