The cold ones
At the end of a disaster that wiped out nearly all of mankind, two species emerge from the shadows, one of fire, the other of ice. They they have begun a conversion of the remaining humans, creating the firekin and the cold ones. These humans-turned-nonhumans are even greater than their creators, but have been caught up in the war just the same. One, the great Enigma, is on a quest to stop the war by taking as many humans, firekin, and cold ones as she can and teaching them to live,fight, and hope together. She hunts those who are broken and afraid, and she takes them, whether they like it or not. You live in this world, and you are trying to survive….

Eni snaps and the air around Gekido freezes, leaving him trapped but unharmed. No matter how hard he tries to melt the ice, it just freezes again. “I won’t have that in my house.” she calmly states. “Now, you can get out of there when you’ve calmed down.”
-
Gekido starts squirming ” Are you crazy he will kill me if you leave me trapped like this cold ones are ruthless heartless killers who only care about themselves. In fact he looks like one of the cold ones that used to torture me so just let me kill him and we will all be safer. ” as you see the block of ice start glowing so bright you can barley look at it but it still doesn’t melt away.
-
The sofa Nuri is on catches alight.
He carries on sleeping, although he appears slightly out of sorts; it could be the freezing cold water or the cold one at the door but either way something is not right with his world.
-
Xander jumped back. First the glowing blade startled him, and then the sudden snap of ice around the wielder. He had just thawed his eyes from their golden disguise and so they were wet. He couldn’t see very well. The glowing block of ice that was both cold and energetic and it began to give him a headache. “I would do many things in order to survive, I must confess. But I would never kill another person like that. I only seek to escape and to stop people like that. I’ve seen how many people have exploited their powers for personal gain, and I would let that go unpunished. Firekin and Cold ones are almost the same. Neither them nor humans should use power to exploit each other. I myself would never be that way,” he said calmly. His face was unchanged but his eyes were furrowed.
-
Eni sighed in irritation as the couch lit on fire. “You can come with me to find a new sofa,” she said, pointing at the cold one. Then she smacked Gekido on the forehead. His heat didn’t bother her at all. “That ice will melt once you calm down and stop having murderous thoughts. Let’s go.”
-
Gekido remembers back when his old friend taught him how to control his anger ” just breath ” Gekido said to himself and the light started to dim and slowly go away it took him 2 and a half hours for him to fully calm down and the ice started to melt into a bracelet on his wrist that he didn’t really notice was there he went inside to make sure the firekin on the sofa was okay and tried to wake him up ” come on man wake up are you okay? “
-
Without bothering to check if Xander followed, Eni walked out the door and went to the next house that was still in order. It was a fair distance away.
-
‘Don’t fucking touch me.’ Nuri had being awake for the last 3 Hours, deliberately trying to block out everything going on around him. So much talking. Â ‘Why were you even still here? I’d run if I were you.’ He turns slightly to get a better look at Gekido, noticing a small band of ice, he checks his own wrist. ‘Shit.’
He gets up and walks straight past Gekido to the door. Once outside he starts trying to smash the bracelet off, he shakes it, he hits it against the rock and as he tries harder and harder her gets angrier and angrier until he finds himself generating heat to try and melt it off.
Every time he melts it, it just comes back in a rush of steam.
/I can’t believe she caught me/
He wants to scream. Instead he has to make do with this. Angrily trying to melt off an unmelting bracelet that just sends a plume of steam into his face.
/And she’s working with both the cold ones and firekin?!/
He starts punching the ground his fist getting heavier and heavier, making more and more noise.

Eni had decided on a couch and carried it to the house again. She noticed Nuri was gone, and heard yelling and banging from the back yard. She smirked a little. “That won’t do you any good,” she called to him, setting down the couch and tossing the remains of the other one out. It was bigger than her old one, to accommodate her new…..guests. “It’s linked to you until I can trust you.”
-
Gekido looks at his wrist ” you don’t trust me? ” as he shoots a murderous glare at Xander
-
“Not with that glare, I don’t,” she says wryly, as the ice once again begins creeping up his wrist. “Try a little less killing intent towards those under my protection.”
-
“Forgive me, I acted suspiciously,” Xander said apathetically. He took a seat and held a cut wrist with his other hand. “If you’re speaking about trust, you’re not trusting me either. You fail do so because we can manipulate opposite elements. Is that it? Our affinities make us enemies?” All the while he remained calm.
-
Eni opened a cupboard and tossed a roll of bandages at Xander. “Fix yourself up.” she says.
-
Gekido looks at Xander with a puzzled look and says ” I’m sorry its just whenever I trust a cold one they always end up torturing me so how about we start over ” as he raises his ice covered hand as to shake hands and looks at Eni ” seriously? “
-
The moment Gekido raises his hand to shake Xander’s the ice melts away and turns into steam.
Eni shrugs, no evidence of shame in her eyes.
