Yet the heart pulses warmly in your pack, a faint glow visible through the frost. You push through the storm, the secret paths guiding your way, reinforcing your vow to protect the legacy despite the storm’s wrath. But as you break past the worst, the heart’s light flickers mysteriously, hinting at power stirring within. Ahead lies a fork in the route: one path skirts along a ridge that might shield you from the storm but is longer and untested; the other follows a frozen riverbed, quicker but exposed to the full blizzard’s fury. Which path will you choose to safeguard the heart and your mission?
