The Guardian

Snow gently falls from the sky, covering the forest in a fresh white blanket. From the thin trees emerges what appears to be a crumbling structure. Perhaps what remains of a palace or temple. Within its ruins, the relic you seek lays. But as you approach, a giant roar fills the air and a white tiger with a feathered main leaps in front of you. It does not let you pass as it prowls back and forth like a caged beast, it's tail swishing behind it. It growls in warning at you.
