The speeding train came to a halt amidst the snowfield, and He Ao, donned in a domed top hat, stepped down from the carriage.
He looked up at his surroundings.
The polar night remained unchanged, with the splendid aurora still cascading down from the stars like a curtain.
But the once pristine glaciers around him were now riddled with cracks, and massive blocks of ice, meters in height, lay scattered across the snow-covered icy surface like pebbles.
Web-like fissures, half a meter wide, spread across the entire snowy land, swallowing scattered glimmers of light into their depths.
