The following midday, sparse sunlight sprinkled over a pure white snowy field, and the snowstorm that raged all night finally subsided slightly.
At this moment of utter silence, a carriage pulled by two magnificent white flying steeds suddenly pierced through the clouds, landing smoothly at the entrance of the Colin Tower.
This solitary five-story mage tower stood like a silent beacon amidst the vast, white Northern Wilderness.
A flag with the Colin family's emblem, recently replaced, flapped vigorously in the bitterly cold wind atop the tower.
A dozen assistants clad in heavy mage robes had been waiting at the entrance for quite some time.
They were the team appointed by the council to assist Master Colin with his research, and many of them were previously responsible for the 440th Void Realm research.
