Chapter 3: Blood in the Snow

The snow fell heavier as they climbed into the hills, the road vanishing beneath frostbitten roots and silence. Kal’s coat was soaked through. Talia’s lips were turning blue. As they faced the challenges encountered in Chapter 3 of Velmorne Blood and Snow, their bonds were tested.

“Keep moving,” he said. “Cold’s a hunter too.”

They found a hollow beneath a leaning stone and built a fire that smoked more than it burned. Talia curled up beside it, arms around the satchel like it might protect her.

Kal watched the tree line.

He always watched the tree line.

The first howl came at moonrise.

Low. Wet. Wrong.

Kal was on his feet before the second. By the third, the shadows had shape — wolves, or something that wore their skins. Their eyes gleamed like lanterns. Their gait was crooked, too many joints bending the wrong way.

Talia gasped. “What are they?”

“Leftovers,” Kal muttered. “From old wars. Magic broke the bones of this world — some of them kept walking.”

He drew his blade. The steel hummed.

The first creature lunged. Kal moved like a man used to dying — fast, reckless, brutal. The beast hit the ground twitching, ichor steaming from its neck.

The others circled.

Talia whispered something. The satchel pulsed once. Kal felt it behind his ribs — a pulling, like a hand made of smoke.

“Don’t use it,” he warned.

“I wasn’t trying.”

Another beast leapt. Kal was slower this time. Its claws raked his shoulder. He went down hard, blade skittering from his hand.

Talia screamed.

The satchel flared.

The air tore open.

Something ancient screamed back.

Kal blacked out.

When he woke, the beasts were gone. Burned. Twisted. The trees around them bent away, as if recoiling.

Talia knelt beside him, blood on her hands. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I didn’t mean to open it.”

Kal coughed, pain flashing bright behind his eyes. “You didn’t. It opened for you.” Velmorne Chapter 3 shows the dangers they face.

He passed out again before he could say what that meant.
