Crestfallen: The Leopards Frontier

Share

1984. 6 years after the Georgia airliner incident. International tensions regarding Mac Piercan’s fate at the hands of Russian and Caucasian residents have dwindled severely. Elena Divicha’s “rebellion” was put down with an iron fist and as a result, several detachments of Red Army soldiers occupy the territory wary of resurgence. Focus on the developments in the Caucasus and its population was lost due to the international focus on the escalating Soviet War in Afghanistan.
What fighters that remain from the Georgia incident embark to Afghanistan to battle the Soviets alongside the Mujahedeen.
Katyusha was forced to abandon her son soon after the events in Georgia to avoid incriminating him and her new partner. Living as a recluse in the highlands of Ingush territory, hunting has become her new calling alongside her Caucasian Sheppard Lyubov.
On a hunt, Katyusha and her hunting party kill a Mountain Ibex. A species seen as protected by God, paranoia ravages the superstitious hunting party. Before long, the hunting party turns weapons on each other in a desperate bid to save their own lives.
Somewhere in the highlands, a Snow Leopard begins to stalk and kill the hunters in an effort to bring justice for God’s killed animal.
Realizing she is now doomed, Katyusha embarks on what will become the hardest and most emotionally devastating task of her life. She will endure the brutal winter, Soviet conscripts, vengeful highlander warriors, and confront unfinished problems in order to simply speak with her son one last time.

This is the hypothetical end to Katyusha's story. At this point the stories of Pedro, Vardo, Katyusha, and all the people involved in their lives will have come full circle and paved the landscape and future of Katya's son Vanya leading from the turbulent 20th century into the uncertain 21st century.
