The cold wind plundered the warmth of the World Tree, covering its branches with frost. Even the thick bark of the World Tree's trunk seemed unable to withstand such temperatures, beginning to crack and freeze.
Next, tiny particles, like a swarm of locusts, attached themselves to various parts of the World Tree. They squirmed and crawled on the branches, as if searching for food to devour in a frenzied wandering.
Unfortunately, the World Tree had already shed its leaves prematurely, leaving only bare trunks.
Thus, after the cold wave persisted for three hundred years, or was it five hundred years, the frigid wind continued to blow towards more distant places. The locust-like particles also followed the cold wind and left the World Tree.
With that, the World Tree successfully "endured" the torment of "winter".
