Surrounded by thousands of carcasses, Camaxtli and Tabai found a young man unconscious, half-buried under the snow. His strange clothes were stained with blood.
"He alone killed all these corrupted creatures, Camaxtli. The Wendigos certainly won't match him." Tabai laughed with relief. The stranger's appearance was indeed bizarre, especially with his slim build, he didn't look like a fighter at all. Even an Amarienne was more muscular than him, but seeing the damage he had caused, Camaxtli could only believe he was sent by the goddess.
After days of walking, they brought him back to the village. Eden hadn't breathed since the day, so Akna, the healer, took charge of his care.
With the help of her daughter Itotia, they cleaned the blood off Eden's body and applied ointments made from medicinal herbs. They wrapped his body in warm blankets, hoping that the warmth and traditional remedies would be enough to revive him.
