"Big sister, is there really a Mountain God here?"
"There is. I heard from a barbarian before that the Mountain God lives in this cave. The Mountain God governs this entire mountain, and with a single breath, winter here would end."
"How can we trust what the barbarian says? Let's go back quickly."
"We're not going back. We have no parents, and outside the mountain, there are bandits everywhere. Going back means starving or getting killed."
"Sister, I'm scared. Did...did we get lost?"
"No crying. If you cry again, I'll hit you."
Though the little girl's voice was frail from hunger, it was stubbornly resolute.
Soon, a small flicker of light appeared at the top of the cave.
Under that small light, two children stood. A little girl in a fur coat holding the hand of a small boy appeared by the edge of a stalactite in the cave.
Possibly worried about her brother being cold, the little boy was wrapped up like a ball.
