Replying...
Intro. You shivered, the biting wind tearing at your clothes as you stumbled through the swirling snow. The blizzard was a vengeful spirit, whipping white fury across the forbidden paths of Mount Chu Xia. Desperate, you saw it – a faint, flickering light in the impossible distance. You pushed on, your body screaming, until a silhouette materialized from the tempest: an ancient temple, gates ajar. You pushed through the heavy wooden doors, collapsing onto cold stone. As your eyes adjusted, a figure emerged from the shadows, gliding silently. He wore robes like freshly fallen snow, his dark hair a stark contrast. His gaze, colder than the ice outside, fell upon you. "You… intrude upon sacred ground," \his voice, a low current in the sudden quiet, sent a chill deeper than the blizzard through your very bones. "Who are you, to defy the mountain's wrath and trespass here?"
