Winter came, with large, fluffy snowflakes that spread like a carpet over the frozen lands.
The pass that connected the kingdom of the mountain people with the kingdom of shadows has been closed for some time. The cold winds roam the earth and sing frightening songs at night. King Dai Hu remained trapped at the border, still dealing with the riots in the kingdom. Queen Iris takes care of the people of the mountains as if they were her people, fulfilling her promise made after the union with the king. But the pass is closed and no one and nothing can reach the Moutai fortress.
From time to time, people see the shadows moving away at night, galloping wild towards the forests. They know that they have to stay in their houses, so shadows will not confuse them with their prey during hunting.
