Wapun Meadow Blizzard of Souls

It was few days now in Elfie's new home in the mountains and for the first time he let Maegi out of his sight and went out exploring on his own. To be honest - it was not done on purpose. He had got distracted and, what had seemed like a blink of an eye, some time had passed, he could neither see, nor find tracks of the she-wolf anywhere.

Therefore he had taken the first path trodden by wolves and followed it. Now, here he was, knee deep in a snowy field, wind howling and engulfing him in a blizzard of snowflakes. Elfie turned around and saw the mountain, then looked the other way and saw hazy outlines of the surrounding scenery.

He was on his own, the feeling was dreadfully familiar, he began to shiver and then he froze. He saw a form rise from the ground and move in the storm. Another followed soon after and then all of a sudden the boy was a witness to horde after horde of dark shapes walking slowly. He could smell the rot and earth and felt the icy cold emanating from them.

Elfie screamed in terror.
