I emerged from the pit, only to feel a sudden draft force itself upon me. Did I dare to open my eyes?
Of course I did.
I felt cold specks falling on my face, and melting into little specks of water that merely faded away in a split second, though many got stuck in my previously dark red hair and stained it pale. Others fell on my eyebrows, yielding the same effect. They lodged themselves on my eyelashes as well, which was not nearly as effective given that they only carressed the tips, and were soon blinked away.
Suddenly, it became a full- on blizzard that ravaged me from all directions and seemed to be trying to force my legs out from underneath my torso. Who knew what kinds of horrors lie ahead, or if I would live long enough to see them?
Despite the creeping dread, I had to distancr myself from the hellish pit I had just emerged from. Although it was all the warmth I would find, my goal was ahead, and falling back in was not exactly favorable...
I moved forward relentlessly, as the blizzard began to accelerate and become even more opaque, threatening all the more to freeze me in my tracks.
I could see salvation from both Hell and Norn in the distance. A small building threatened by the blizzard yet untouched by it. There was undoubtedly insulation. If not, I would soon be dead.
And what a relief! It was insulated. I could kiss these heaters! Seriously!
The window was such a nice viewing point. I could appreciate the beautu of the blizzard.
For convenient reference, those were my sentiments from four freaking months ago.
Hell broke loose as soon as I began to explore the building that had become my salvation. It was cold hell. The blizzard blew in the background, ambiently so, as I stared upon this anticlimactically clean and warm place.
In the middle of my field of vision was a small blur that my stressed and quite honestly confused mind mistakenly percieved as another human presence.
I tried to address the other presence, and suddenly, it had begun all over again.
I made the fatal mistake of seeming aggressive in my efforts to interact. How could this coldblooded beast blame me? I was desperate!
The roof began to implode, trapping me while waterfalls of that same blue, thick, sticky substance that coursed through his veins drowned me, and I was soon frozen in it.
in truth, i do not know how long i was trapped in there, but i know that four months have passed since i broke free.
could i really call it breaking free, though? i woke from my dreamless sleep to find that i had become one with this... thing...
by some screwed up knowledge, i have become infused with his traits by being frozen in his blood.
we have become one and the same, doomed to wander this empty, blizzard- wrought landscape for all eternity. we are a suffering abomination, tortured by the conflict of it's being.
in these months, i have tried everything. i tried to leave, but was chased back to the blizzard by the screams of thr townspeople. their cries ring constantly in my ears now, despite being far from civilization.
every moment of every day, even when all such sounds should be drowned out by the fierce roar of the blizzard, I can hear an angry throng of cries wrought with the fear necessary to pray to the heavensent, begging for an answer to the identity of this thing that has begun to release it's condensated breaths on a momently basis.
i even tried to find the hellfire again, in hopes of melting this frigid outer shell and finally escaping this new form of hell, but now it always lies just out of reach, torturing me with it's unreachable warmth and it's daunting roar.
yet, somehow, there is serenity here at last.
i came to this place to find peace, and at last, my life has some kind of simplicity.
sure, that life is suffering, pure icy hell, but now all things are certain. call me crazy or masochistic, but a part of me is beginning to enjoy this. th3 scenery is beautiful. i can be here, admiring it, with no inhibitions or worries about death or starvation. i can speak to my other half as well. we discuss many things that the outside world is too afraid to address, things i have always dreamed about discussing.
I finally have a home,a lifetime acquaintance. heck, even some of the wildlife has become my family. i have a stable home, no need to work, and a life that I can be happy with. I'm never bored. The snow is nice today. I have no need to drive over it.
What more could i ask for? My life is, by definition, 'perfect'. i am perfectly content in my wintery little home, so i retract my earlier statement. this really was my salvation after all.
The first 30 seconds was enough to know I am going to love this hour.
This got me excited for the first 30 seconds whilst I listen to it. Thank you. That was pleasant.
Getting tired of being fan of modern metal & electronics from time to time ... and Epic music is mostly lack of melody... so Yeah! That is what I was looking for. Rly good stuff! My ears are pleased. Thanks for upload!
It was cold and dark, my hands white from frost. My steps were getting slower, and shorter, as I walked through the snow-covered field. I could hear the howling breeze as it blew me side to side. The snow was soft to walk on, yet my feet were numb. A gush of snowy wind pushed me back, and I fell to my back. I could see the moon, hiding behind the gray clouds. It's light, dimmer and dimmer it got. I struggled to get up, my hands sinking in the freezing cold snow. I stood up, my legs shaking and stumbling. I heard a whisper behind me. "Shhh ..." it said. I reached a tree, and used it for balance. The voice I could still hear, perhaps just the wind. And then it got me. I was stopped. Frozen. I couldn't move. I felt cold. Colder than before. And that's the last thing I remember.
kiki
dream or fragmets of erased memory of previous incarnation at the moment of your death in that winter field?
I personally love all of the dark music because it helps me calm down when I'm anxious & also helps me sleep when I can't
And I love ice and winter, also ice tigers and other winter animals.
@@frostysnow-princessoftiger1738 what's an ice tiger? That's a thing?
The Blue Alpine Village song is just lovely! The whole playlist is perfect for listening to on a chilly day as winter approaches.

Good music, but maybe you could compose less electronically and more authentically?!
What is "authentic"? Blowing through rams' horns? I would suggest that taking advantage of the possibilities offered by technology is not a crime.
New dark winter music... just what I needed to get through my writer's block. Not kidding, I thought of a new plot point I had been stuck on for about a month until I started listening to this new compilation. I don't know what it is about this type of music, but it's doing wonders for my muse. Thank you so much.
Often, that's how it happens. I'm a writer too, and find myself here a lot. Haha!
hopefully, you will not get lost in the own world which you have created, for you have a Creator which you will one day see face to face.
I know I feel the exact same way, then I get to listening to this music and it helps meditate my mind into more of a imagining mode therefore being able to get over that darn writer's block!
I'm a writer too. I can fully attest to the fact that there is power in the music that adds to your creativity. I think that the music flows, your thoughts flow, the ideas flow along with the music... it leads the muse to the thoughts, and the thoughts flow into the imagination.
I play this while my students are working during morning work time and/or end of the day to calm them down...lol..Thank you for this! Blessings..😉
Hey what ever happend to making music from different cultures instead it is the same dark waltz/ fantasy/Greek stuff like maybe a Korea or Germanic music would be cool
Fairy Pisces That's a really good thing ahah, i wish have teachers like you :) Have a good time and good work ;)
I've always been a winter person at heart. The cold just works with me. This is one of my favorite hour lists now
Tremendous aid in developing backstory for a fairly important npc in my dnd campaign. Wulfere the Banished. Trapped in the Plane of Ice for centuries. Kudos on a great mix of songs!
Yes, that's great that this helps you to develop a backstory. -- Derek
_The wind passed through her hair like ghost fingers, sending a spiraling chill through her body as she closes her eyes to a soft melodic tune. As her clothes wrapped itself around her thin frame, the wind caressing her exposed skin, she lifts her pale fingers and brings her flute to pretty red lips. Taking a small breath, she begins to play a soft tune, as she flies over towns and villages; taking the awakened ones and dropping them off to sleep. If anyone could get a glimpse of her, she would look like a dark shadow passing across the light of the moon. Long dark hair, glowing blue eyes, a long white gown, and a flute in her grasp as she flies across the midnight skies on the back of a light blue dragon; playing her tune and lolling those who heard it into a deep slumber._
This video blew me away!
Absolutely *PERFECT* to begin the day during these hot-hot-hot mornings!
My favorites in this compilation:
Snowland
1:37-1:57 gives me the chills
Blue Alpine Village
12:45 always gets me. I'd always look up from my work everytime I hear that part.
The White Castle (most favorite)
Very romantic and heart-touching.
Your music takes me to another world. Is so magical! keep up the good work😊❄❄
Y’all ever realize winter has a smell?
Lol. Totally! I think every season has a distinctive scent. I never follow the calendar for seasonal changes, I follow my nose
The playlist that inspired the setting of my novel💙! I'm so glad to find it again😂😂
Your music is always perfect for Dungeons and Dragons!
*snort* Really? D&D, and RPGs in general, is more popular than ever.
I was referring to the actual D&D old school table top dice rolling version. 'Snort' Skyrim is not D&D is it.
Yeah, so was I. I run a weekly Pathfinder game, and our local, small-town RPG group has about 200 people in it. Pen and pencil RPGs. Dice and all.
Condescending twat.
Wow, that feel there - awesome, true chilling winter feel! :)
I’ve been playing Curse of Strahd DnD with this and other tracks in the background. Barovia never felt more alive, thank you.
If I ever find players I am most definitely playing this with rime of the frost maiden
I really like Crystal Chimes. It gave me vibes of Burton, Another, and Game of Thrones. That's a good group to vibe from!
Intro gave me goosebumps...felt the chill in the melody. Love the violin that follows...sad but uplifting at the same time.
Ahh, this time of the year again. I love it, this is just the right sound, you guys are incredible musicians. Thanks a lot.
I'm sure you've all heard this alot, but I absolutely love having this music going on in the background while I study, or play D&D! Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment.
Reading a book example throne of glass with this music is amazing
The scenery and music are so beautiful ❄️🤍🌨🥀
I am a RPG Maker Indie Developer, and listening yours tracklists gives me all the inspiration i need! Thanks for that!
Omg I thought this was the other one that I've listened to 100 times, this one is brand new! I am so excited.
This is the music I grade to every weekend. It helps me get through the long essays. I feel like I am on my own quest. :)
I deadass put this in because I’m freezing rn and refuse to move to close the window🤣
I'm listening to this song under the starry sky right now. The space around me was empty, just me and the galaxy overhead. That feels great.
I absolutely love this playlist, I play it all the time when I paint or have to work on paperwork at home or read it’s amazing for that! The graphics are so beautiful as well, I really enjoy the artwork that is featured in the video. It really sets the scene for the theme. So great!
Dude I’m just chillin here ❄️
Perfect music to listen to while prepping for Icewind Dale
One of the best relaxing compilation of songs i've ever eard for work !
It's so beautiful and we're immediatly dive into a timeless age where we are into a kind of warm wood fire in front of an huge meadow of snow and magic.
Keeps make us dream with your wonderfull talent, thank you a lot from a french Solicitor in work law.

Thank you for the timestamps on the track list. Two thumbs way, way, way up. ;)
Thx for all the add breaks in between songs
Rly sets the atmosphere
Beautiful amazing peace calming and relaxing love the music
I wouldn't really describe some of this as 'dark'. It's got a whimsical mysterious atmosphere, sure, but it isn't brooding or haunting like dark music would suggest.
come on its all like creepy spooky fairytale music which is dark. uncertainty, creatures lurking
Lights out.. Blanket over my head with this music blasting thru my ears..
Thanks you very much...your music is so peacefull and it helps me in this difficult moment...
Imao a commercial randomly came on was i was listening to music saying "open your eyes this is your future" then switches to this😆
Hey guys... I'm 16 years old and living is South Africa. I Just want you guys to know that if you like fantasy books,you should read:

3:game of thrones
P. S these three series is really a life changer.

I am getting my homework done as I listen to this. It's perfect. Not too obtrusive, just nice.

This is some of your best work it's seriously beautiful thank you for being so talented I wish I could compose but I don't know what programme to use or whether I have to use real instruments???
Danke, perfekt für die Meditation auf meinem jetzigen Level. Sehr heilsam!
a silver coloured day with little warmness is a dark winter day for me.
when i am in hug of velvety blanket then it is a dark winter night for me.
cough , fever were darkness of winter when i was a child.now i am a young girl , i can feel romance every moment with music.
feel this - blue eyes of sky , golden hair of sun , red lips of small flowers , cool touch of air is saying , "we love to listen music because we know music loves us."
🥀.
It feels Cold, listening to this...
My body.. I feel cold.
Derek, Brandon, I have to tell you guys -- when it comes to music, you don't just hit it out of the ball park. You hit it out of the ball park, over the parking lot, past the highway and into the next time zone. :) I love your music.
There is some much music on UA-cam perfect for setting the atmosphere for my D&D campaigns. Love it
Always playing your music while playing DnD with my friends. Makes it way more awesome. Thx budd
Winter is coming !
Oh wait, winter is here, finally :)

I love autumn and winter 😍🤩😊
Pretty and magical for some of these especially the first one! Love the violin on the second one!
My favorite holiday season vibes

Perfect to RP a Frost Mage with. Listening to this while Rping my Cryomancer.
This was beautiful, man.. could be the soundtrack of some movie or videogame.

Wow ...this transported me somewhere ...a magic place inside of me !
Whispers in the wind 💜
Just what I was looking for!
Used this music in a D&D one shot where my two players were young white dragons and they had to fight an adult crystal dragon. Was epic!
Winter, snow, .. beautiful...
Beautiful Beginning Music
This is hands down the best one yet. It's so calming and just let's your inagination bring you to the place we all love most ❤❤❤
I like this. It's really relaxing.
just found this one....very soothing💖💖
This music is so magical and mysterious! I also love the slow turning chimes instantly getting my imagination going :] Winter is such a cozy, endearing social season... there's nothing like huddling up under the blankets and listening to the crackle of a campfire as one is surrounded by loved ones :] I can't wait for more wonderful winter music! Its truly beautiful in its own way :]
I read the majority of the Golden Age of Berserk and the later(post chapter 95) chapters of Attack on Titan while listening to this. Goes perfectly with both.
The picture used for the white castle is literally my favorite castle. ^^
Watching this while drawing yeti concept art
Amazing Mix, great selection of songs! :)
these type of videos r all over my yt cuz i love em all anyone else
I used to call it studying. In the last hour, it was called *_"Decrypting the ancient texts"._*
Sometimes the ancient texts need a good decrypting
Ikr?
To answer the riddles of the gatekeeper called... the Professor.
@@JF098 Beautiful.
Someone keep this going.
I know when I am decoding an ancient text, I never do so without a fresh roll of FlexTape™, you can just never be too sure. Really, anything that requires three or more witches &/or an ancient tome, FlexTape™.
