The village of Estermere grows quiet over the winter month, as all prepare for feast-day. Far in the distance, snow begins to fall onto the Gnoll village. Ark'kruy'ek looks up into the turbulent weather, and reflects on the idea of a snowflake being blown on the wind, never to find peace. Elric looks out into the cold, and settles by the fire, with no-one to share the moment with. Anya is probably out in the snow, while James laughs at her innocence, keeping these moments close to heart.
