Every child of the Sterling family was sent to the snowy mountains for physical training in their youth.
Ten years ago, I found a little green-eyed puppy in the snowy mountains.
When I first saw him, he was covered in wounds from wild beasts, barely clinging to life.
I called the adults, and they chased the beasts away.

My biggest dream back then was to raise a little dog.
So, I brought him home, meticulously cared for him, and carefully fed him.
Every day I returned home, I would talk a bushel of words to that little puppy.
But one day, when I came home, the little puppy was gone.
I never saw him again.
Back then, I couldn’t understand why my little puppy friend had just disappeared.
But now, thinking back, many things floated to the surface.
At that time, the Blackwood family also had a base near the snowy mountains.
One missed connection, a full decade, never meeting again.
