Darkness...
That is all I can see, all that I can feel.
From the edge of my sight, there is only darkness that surrounds me.
It is quite relaxing actually, when you think about it.
And it's quiet and peaceful.
I am so very, very tired. I don't even know why.
I could just close my eyes and drift away to a nice long sleep...
But the cold, it is freezing. I don't know why but it feels like my body is turning to ice.
Still, if I focus long enough I can just ignore the cold and finally rest...
Well I would if I could stop this itch on my god damn face, that is.
It's not just on my face. A little nudge here, a little nudge there.
I swear to the spirits right now that I will kill whoever is doing this to me.
I am so tired. Just let me rest. Just let me sleep...

" HOOOOWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLL!"
A male, near the end of his teenage years, sat up suddenly from laying sprawled on the ground, covered in ice and snow, but even through all of the snow it was as clear as day the level of confusion that radiated from the teenage boy.
His short brown hair turned back and forth blindly as his sharp hazel eyes tried to take in his surroundings, a rising sense of panic threatening to overwhelm him as he looked around at his surroundings, seeing only a blizzard among the desolate landscape of snow.
It was like this until he noticed a pair of peculiar, large yellows eyes staring deep into his own.
. . .
Larik knew danger when he saw it and these pair of bright eyes was practically screaming danger at him.
However there was a sense of familiarity with this creature as well. Something that made him feel like he could place his life on the line and this creature would stand beside him.
It was then that the moonlight reflected on the animal's fur, revealing him as if by magic. It was also then that Larik knew why he could trust this beast as his eyes sparkled from sudden realisation.
"Bipin..." he croaked, his deep voice tinged with disbelief.
The black wolf in front of him barked in return, confirming Larik's suspicions.
"It is good to finally see something familiar out here boy." Larik whispered whilst scratching his pet predator's ear.
Larik then stood up as far as his medium height would allow him, staring off into the desolate blizzard, and his eyes narrowed.
" I guess boy, that the real question that needs answering here is where in spirits name are we?"
