Chapter 1: The Silent Snow-Covered Forest
In the serene winter forest, a young girl walks alone, holding a sword by her side. Her breath forms mist in the cold air, and the snow crunches under her feet.
Girl (thoughts): “I must return to that place again this year…”
With her long, straight black hair flowing behind her and dressed in a deep blue kimono adorned with intricate snowflake patterns, she moves with purpose. The quiet, snow-covered forest stretches out endlessly, creating a mystical atmosphere around her.
Chapter 2: Testing the Blade’s Edge
In a clearing surrounded by tall, snow-covered trees, the girl stands in a ready stance. She draws her sword with a focused expression, preparing for the test.
Girl: “One strike, that’s all it takes.”
With a swift, graceful movement, she cuts through a withered tree in front of her. The tree splits cleanly in two, snowflakes swirling in the air as the silent forest witnesses her skill.
Chapter 3: An Unexpected Encounter
From behind the severed tree, a large white wolf appears, its fur blending with the snowy surroundings. The girl lowers her sword slightly, surprised but not afraid.
Girl: “You… you’re the one from before?”
Wolf (thoughts): “…It’s you, after all.”
The wolf, majestic and calm, steps closer, and the two gaze at each other, a silent recognition passing between them. The snow continues to fall, adding to the mystical atmosphere.
Chapter 4: A Promise in the Snow
Kneeling down in the snow, the girl gently places her hand on the wolf’s head, her eyes soft with kindness. The wolf remains still, accepting her touch.
Girl: “Let’s meet again here next year.”
Wolf (thoughts): “…It’s a promise.”
The scene is serene and peaceful, with the falling snow wrapping them in a moment of quiet understanding. Above, the night sky sparkles with countless stars, bearing witness to their promise.
