Wolfpack Snowfield, White Iron Town.

The once-white snowfield had turned completely red.

Seen from the Great Snow Mountain, the scarlet snow looked like a road through the Yellow Springs carpeted with spider lilies. The red monsters swarming up the slope were like vengeful ghosts that refused to pass on.
