A Northlands With Only Myself

Snowflakes kept falling down as snow swiftly accumulated on the ground. It was as if a naughty child was coloring the entire world white with a crayon.

I looked blankly at everything before me. My breath was visible in the air. All the mountains spreading out were covered in white.

The entire world had suddenly become like this the moment that I brought out my sword.

Endless snow stretched all the way out to the horizon. A frozen waterfall sat above a lake of ice. The distant snow mountains seemed like a background, yet they also seemed to be close by.

"Elisa… Harloys?"

A strange spatial sensation had affected my senses. I was the only one remaining in this quiet world.

It was so silent and cold. I was really unaccustomed to such a world with nothing in it.

I took one step forward. All I heard was crunching snow.

"Is anyone there!?"

The only response I received was the echoing of my shout within the snow mountains.
