The slumbering giants

White and blue flakes whirled to the ground. Snow covered the lands, the air, and the sky. Life seemed absent from existence in these lands. The lands were nothing more than tall, unending mountains, with peaks penetrating the sky. No one remembered these lands. Because no one ever managed to reach this place. 

Darkness reigned in this place. The black sky hovered above whether it was day or night. So, when the dark receded and gold colored the sky, the tallest peak shuddered. Rather, the only creature living on these lands moved. 

It was large. Large enough to take up half of the peak. The snow slid off its gigantic body, turning into an avalanche. The size and strength of the avalanche rumbled as if the sky had broken down. The mountains trembled due to the impact.
