Einzbern Castle.

Several sleighs raced along the mountain road through the Forest of Winter.

Scattered snowflakes drifted down through the forest as lightly as feathers, and everything seemed draped in a shimmering white veil.

The branches were laden with thick snow, occasionally swaying gently beneath its weight and scattering a shower of silver fireworks.

In the middle of the convoy, several wolf-like magical beasts pulled an ornately decorated sleigh at full speed toward Winter Castle.
