Cold.

In the midst of this blazing Tallsun, the idea of a chilly, refreshing breeze seemed impossible. And yet, the one that was coursing through the trees now went far beyond just chilly. It carried frost with it - a distinct, crisp scent that spoke of another season. In the brightness of the sunny afternoon, it could not be more out of place.

Ashamin.

The wind sighed the name as it danced through the forest - beckoning him towards the source.

Beneath the blood-red trees and by the crimson pool, it was snowing but only in a small area - no larger than five metres in diameter. In the centre of this perfect circle of Frostfall, where the snow accumulated, a figure was forming. Not quite equine, not quite cervid - the legs and neck were long and graceful and decidedly other-worldly as the snow began to shape it. With each passing moment, the snow continued to define the body. A dished, delicate head supporting ornate antlers that twined together. Every time it moved, snow would crumble off its body before reforming in the new position with the falling snow once more.

Come, Ashamin.

Its voice was the wind emanating from this small patch of winter, stretching out its frosty fingers to find the one it sought.

The creature waited, forming more completely as it did - its body completely made of snow that glittered in the dappled sunlight that shone through the trees…

That is, except for the eyes which burned like coals - lidless and unblinking as it watched the trees before it for movement.
