The Northern Region of the Human Empire…
Ashina Province.
This was the uppermost border of the empire, a place where snow fell relentlessly all year round.
In those frozen lands, there stood an old wooden house, Once home to an elderly couple.
Now, it had become a grave that held one of them.
Millicent, the old witch, had died after her defeat at the hands of Beatrice.
She was quietly buried there,
and few even knew she had been alive in the first place.
Her story was a tragic one...
But that didn't change the fact that she, together with her now-absent husband, had once protected the northern borders.
And without them, there was no longer a line of defense against one of the Nightmare Lords .. the Abyss Watcher.
This forced Sir Alon Valerion to place a beast resembling the Nightmare Knights in her stead, to hold the line.
And so, amidst the beautiful snowy fields,
a fierce battle unfolded, spilling foul blood across the land without end.
