Drastic change in the Snowy Mountains

"It's my mistake. Your appearance reminded me of our Arctic Tigerfolk queen," the tiger being guard said apologetically, though he wasn't sure why it was considered a mistake. 

"Is your queen in that chamber?" Alex asked, having noticed something peculiar about it. The other tiger beings were casual, but that chamber was guarded, and all the tiger beings seemed to be subtly protecting it.

"Yes, our queen is still asleep," the guard confirmed.

"So, your queen looks a lot like me?"

"Her hair is the same color as yours, white," the guard said, struggling with the human terminology for hair.

At that moment, Alex felt the entire bunker begin to tremble slightly.

The tiger beings continued eating happily, oblivious to the tremors. The guard stopped eating and looked at Alex, who had stood up.

"Do you feel that?"
