{North of the Forest of Spirits, at the foot of the mountain range}
.
Winter had arrived, striking every plant and animal in its path.
Although this area of the continent always had much lower temperatures compared to other places, with the arrival of winter, they dropped even further, making it impossible for ordinary people to live there.
On a path towards the end of the Forest of Spirits, where the vegetation was sparse and a few bare trees were scattered around, two figures walked, surveying the area.
They were a middle aged man and a young boy, no more than 20 years old.
Both wore heavy silver armor, the middle-aged man with a sword on his back, and the young man with a travel backpack on his back and a sword at his side.
The sound of their steps on the thin layer of snow that had formed on the small path was covered by the rustling of the light wind that was beginning to blow.
