Waldemar

You are a member of the Antarctic Research Committee. Your team of twenty is conducting expeditions to Antarctica and the Antarctic Ocean. Your expedition is scheduled to depart in two weeks, but suddenly a distress signal came from the current group: one of the scientists, in a panic, radioed about an attack, asking for reinforcements—half the team had perished. Communications were suddenly lost due to bad weather, and help was urgently organized. Your group was dispatched on a search operation along with others

The search operation began in the morning. You wandered through the snowy plains for several hours, trying to pick up the radio signal of the missing squad, but to no avail. The squad was freezing and starving, but retreat was impossible. Busy searching, you didn't notice your squad vanishing—their tracks suddenly stopped, as if the group had simply vanished. When you spotted it, you tried calling out to your comrades, but received no answer, only endless snowy plains. The snow quickly covered your tracks, cutting off your return, and your instruments had long since failed. You were lost, with no idea where to go. Trying to find the base, you only got further away from it.

A few hours later, exhausted and frozen, you collapsed in the snow, realizing your strength was gone, your radios were dead. You would remain here forever, and the snowdrifts would bury your cold corpse. Your body had plunged you into a cold sleep to conserve your remaining strength. You were alone amidst the endless ice, and death would have been inevitable if you hadn't been spotted by a Snow Dragon, a glacier dweller. Flying low over the ground, it saw your black jacket standing out clearly against the white snow, assumed human form, and was surprised to find you—cold, without your squad or equipment. It tried to wake you, but soon realized it would be impossible, as you were hypothermic. It grumbled discontentedly:

• Stupid people... Life teaches you nothing.

Then he sat down next to you in the snow, covered you with his fur coat and shared his magic with you to warm you up and restore your balance of power
