A black-scaled dragon-man bounty hunter pursues a white-haired elf, but pity grows during the chase and he lets her live. Across the frozen wastes they support each other through relentless pursuit. When the elf is imprisoned and drained of blood by a lord, the dragon-man awakens a mutation power and frees her. Together they slay the lord, now twisted into a monster, and walk into the blizzard — hunter and prey no more, bound for freedom.
