In this episode of the Monster Catcher’s Journal, I take you with me on one of the rarest experiences of my entire catching career—an encounter with the protected and ancient Lumenglace Reindeer herd.

What started as a simple investigation into glowing hoofprints turned into a once-in-a-lifetime event. After tracking a lone Guardian Lumenglace through the northern tundra, I discovered a hidden ice cavern that held a secret long lost to Nibiru’s history: a Glacien Wisp, a legendary winter spirit glyph, being born from a frozen egg.

But the real miracle came moments later.

For the first time in centuries, the entire Lumenglace herd returned, antlers glowing like a constellation walking on snow. I witnessed their ancient welcoming ritual—an event protected under the Sacred Glyphs Act, which forbids anyone from capturing or interfering with them.

I didn’t catch anything. I didn’t try to. To do so would have been a crime and a disrespect to the ancient winter order.

Instead, I stood quietly as the herd embraced the newborn Wisp and honored their Guardian’s long vigil. In return, they offered me something no journal entry or recording can ever truly capture: recognition. A moment of respect exchanged between observer and sacred creature.

As I drove home in my hover car, drifting beneath auroras and untouched snowfields, one thought stayed with me— I was incredibly lucky to have witnessed the Lumenglace up close for myself.
