The cold night sky was lit up brilliantly by thousands of luminous stars - big and small. The man calmly made his way towards the dead tree which stood at the very edge of the slope of the mountain peak. Once there, he settled down and leant against the tree, placing the cylinder of light beside him. He closed his eyes and waited patiently.

Faintly, he heard footsteps drawing in closer. Each steps were cautious yet to him, they were heavily thumping down on the thick snow. The approaching footsteps came to a halt right in front of him and the man opened his eyes.
