High above the clouds, the frigid wind cut like a blade.
The temperature had long since fallen below freezing. The air was thin, and violent currents tore through the sea of clouds.
Any ordinary creature that entered this high-altitude region would freeze into an ice sculpture in an instant, then be ground into powder by the gale.
