A freezing wind struck me at that moment, causing chills to go down my spine. I shivered involuntarily as I took another look around my environment. Miles and miles of pristine, white snow stretched out as far as the eye could see. I could see the Empire not far in the distance. I had purposely decided to stay close enough that it would stay within my range of sight on my first patrol, just so I could rush back inside if need be.
