Chapter 1: The Frozen Frontier

In the endless expanse of the Arctic, where the wind howls low and the auroras flicker like distant flames, Polar roams. His immense shape blends into the ice and snow, moving with a quiet precision that feels unnatural in a land so vast and empty. There is nothing outwardly remarkable about him —he is but a bear, a creature of fur and muscle— but something in his presence weighs heavy on the air.

The ice remembers, and so does he. Once, this frozen world was alive with purpose. The crackle of snow underfoot, the whispers of the wind curling through the peaks of ancient glaciers—it all carried meaning. But that balance has been broken. Polar walks now not as a guardian of his home but as its last remnant, his silent rage colder than the ice itself.

Humans brought this silence. Their machines tore through the ice, leaving behind scars that run deeper than any wound. They took his family, scattered them like shards across a broken floe. They stole the songs of the wind, replacing them with the hum of engines.

Polar moves without haste, his dark eyes scanning the horizon. He is neither hurried nor hesitant. The rhythm of his steps is steady, deliberate, almost hypnotic, as if he follows an unspoken command etched into the ice beneath his feet.

Above him, the auroras shift in eerie patterns, their light casting faint shadows that stretch unnaturally across the snow. Yet Polar casts no glance upward. His focus never wavers from the frozen ground ahead, each step marking his claim upon a land that has been taken from him.
