Rina run down from the hill and stopped beside the boy, throwing a warm blanket over his shoulders. "There you are! You will freeze, Udaya!" - the boy didn't react at all to the girl's appearance, - "I know that you are worried..." - Rina embraced him warmly, "Believe me, your dad will be back! Give him a couple more days! You will see, the day after tomorrow he will be here!" Udaya continued to look into the distance. The north wind blew and disheveled the hair of both. "Let's go home?" - asked the girl, - "I'm already cold... As soon as you managed to stand here without freezing for hours? Let's go. Come on! Ple-ease!"
But Udaya could not take his eyes off the gray landscape of the ashen valley. How endless it seems from here... how magnificent. For several days now, the boy felt excessive pain in his soul. He could not understand where she came from in the bowels of his soul, but now that Rina spoke of his father, he understood how naive these words sounded. He understood why this feeling appeared. At that moment, everything changed dramatically. Inside it, from an overwhelming despair, some ancient seal seemed to have broken. The pain subsided, and a sad song poured from his mouth over the valley.
Ashes got to warm the snow,
Spilled blood brave and cravens
Someone's age has ended so
Come back, flock of ravens.
At that moment, the sky started to shy above Udaya's head, and the bright daytime sun shone on the earth around him. Rina fell to her knees and bowed her head to the ground. Cold keys broke through the earth's thickness and their thin streams appeared on a sunlit patch of land, irrigating dry grass. Life every minute more and more returned to the world. The people of Novgrad came out of their homes, noticing brightness unusual for the heavens, and the northerners rose to their full height, watching the light burst to the ground. Everyone was happy to see the birth of a new sun and a new era, which promised to be much brighter and warmer than the previous one.
At this time, a beautiful graceful female fox and a noble stately male fox came out onto a snowy hill. Snuggling fluffy fur coats to each other, they settled down in the snow, admiring the sunshine.
