Once upon a time.
In the depths of the North Border Province, there lay a city-state called Bandera.
It stood tall amidst mountains thousands of meters high, surrounded by steep cliffs and rugged mountains, forming a natural barrier.
In the vast icy world, eternal snowstorms intertwined, and biting frost howled.
On the snowfield several kilometers south of Bandera City, snowflakes gently drifted down like fluttering elves, dancing gracefully, some descending onto the vast land, others disappearing into the bottomless mountain crevices.
A snow sledge pulled by black Demon Realm Moon Shadow Foxes broke the tranquility, leaving striking gold flame marks on the pristine white snow.
"We've arrived."
The sledge driven by Lanci came to a slow stop beside a frozen lake.
The lake surface reflected the pale sky perfectly, like a mirror.
