Chapter 39 - The Modern Age_1

The first snow finally fell in Donau.

The snow was like a shy bride, signaling the short onset and disappearance of her presence.

Everyone knew from this day forward, that the Donau Wasteland had officially entered its harshest winter.

The Donau Wasteland experiences five seasons in a year. Apart from spring, summer, autumn, and winter, there is a month-long rainy season that occurs at the cross between winter and spring. This is when the Sanggan River annually overflows, and the resultant flooding waters, like untamed wild horses, nourish the parched lands downstream. As the river level rises during the rainy season, transportation is temporarily halted between the north and south banks of the Sanggan River.
