Darkness. . . . that's the first thing I saw when I awoke. . . . or more like felt. I couldn't see or hear anything! Just as I was starting to get worried, a voice crept out of the darkness. . . . it sounded so familiar, the laugh I heard, but I couldn't quite remember. . . . "So. . . . the boy of snow finally wakes." My senses suddenly rushed back to me and for the first time in several years, I was scared.
