Within Mirror Cradle - Yinsong
>You gaze upon a strange land: The numerous snowflakes do not fall from the skyline but instead rise from the icy field and become the myriad stars across the night sky. >Only few snowflakes fall back onto the surface of the frozen lake, filling up a long narrow vertical crack.
>A towering structure akin to a divine abode is reflected in the lake. Beneath the ice, people have constructed a giant city around this mirrored image; you can find an old-style eat-and-drink, ice bridges and snow buildings, and even merry crowds coming and going— a stark contrast to the desolation above the ice.
>A group in white garments walk down the stairs and approach the crack in the surface of the ice; in a ripple they pass neatly sliced block of ice over to the surface. Above the ice, numerous Shadow monsters flock from the tower, hastily taking the ice cubes and continuing to patch the abode’s defects.
>One Shadow monster carrying a young girl in their back approaches the surface of the ice and stomps, leaving a tiny crack. You see several drops of dark colored shadow slowly drip from the corner of the Shadow monster’s mouth.
