The trail was three days cold and getting colder.
Heihuo landed on war-scarred stone—black basalt fractured by ancient violence, still bearing scorch marks from the last Zartonesh invasion ten thousand years ago. His massive bronze form cast shadows across terrain that wore its history like battle scars, where corruption from interdimensional war had seeped into the earth and never quite healed.
Four parallel scars—temple to jaw—pulled tight as wind cut across his scales with teeth of ice and ash. Voidmarch. The coldest month. And they were hunting shadow dragons through demon territories while winter tried to freeze the essence in their Crucible Cores.
