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….

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I cant stand up Dropping her load she collapses into a snowdrift, moaning softly “Sorry” before falling instantly asleep. Sorry Isen. Guess the blood transfusion took more out of me than I thought.
-
*Isen hears the girl collapse and finally turns to look at her, in the distance the house explodes.
The wind picks up slightly with the blast and with it a smattering of ash, strange… it looks just like snow.
Fire and Ice as it has being since the beginning.
Isen sits on the floor exasperated. He knows he can’t sleep so decides to keep watch instead. The blast will have attracted attention*
-
That surely grabbed Din’s attention it activated his afraid side

(( Horus…HOW IS MY WRITING LIKE A COMIC BOOK?!!! ))
The one year old creature, Ava was lying awake in her bed. Her human mother gently sings a lullaby in a attempt to lull the young girl to sleep. Abruptly the woman stops singing as the room starts to cool down. The windowpanes once so warm, froze leaving ice crystals growing on the panes. With a sudden shake and a shiver, the woman snatched her child from the girl’s bed and rushed to the warmth of the kitchen. But the frost kept on following. Underneath the door it came racing to rise up and gram the woman’s feet, holding them onto the floor. A thick voice spoke to the scared human. “Come on Brigitte. You knew what I was. You always knew what I was. It was just a matter of time for you to give up your scared little life of humanity and turn to /ICE/!” Placing a emphasis on the last word, a form of a large male man materialized in front of the woman. “Come Brigitte. It is so simple. The pain will be over in just mere minutes! Think of it! We could be together once again! We could rule the world! Our child, We could raise her together!”
Shakily the woman responded. “No. I must refuse. I was forced by you to conceive her. The girl may be half human-half Frealen but she will be raised as a human! And she will be raised by her /HUMAN/ mother! MY DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE RAISED AS A FREEZING CREATURE OF ICE!!”
Seeing how determined she was the man merely gave a shrug and with two steps covering the distance between them. “Then you must be changed by force.” He told her forcefully jamming his fingers into her neck.
“NOOOOOOO!” The mother and child shrieked in unison.With a bolt of fear racing through Ava she sat up right suddenly awake. “NO! Mother!” Only to realize that she was no longer in dreamland, but in the quiet snow next to the male cold one.

*Isen is staring into the void, letting the darkness fill the empty space left by all his questions.
It’s then that the other him starts speaking. It says the usual things like
-You can’t pretend you didn’t enjoy hurting the old woman
Isen ignores him, or does he ignore Isen
It doesn’t matter which
What are you talking about,
Of course it matters.
I don’t care anymore.
We both know that’s not true
And she’s awake now
Isen turns* -
Oh dear…I wasnt talking in my sleep was I?
“How much did you hear?!” She asks Isen accusingly. Jumping up she adds. “And for that matter how long was I out for?” -
It don’t care if you talk in your sleep or not, but for the record I didn’t hear a thing. You’ve being out for 4 Hours now. A firekin came near but quickly ran, noone else has being by this way. *He grabs the bracelet out of his pocket and starts trying to figure out what can be done to find Demetrius*
-
“Four hours?! Oh great.” That is the worst drain I’ve had in a long while. “So our prey has a extra head on us. Do you have any idea where to find him?”
-
How did you find me Ava? No one knew which room I was staying in so how did you?
-
“The sent of a cold one is very simplistic. But is also varies per creature. I was originally disturbed by your presence when I first /had/ /the/ /human/ in my grasp. But then you came along and allowed him to escape.” Once again she starts to get pissy. “Your scent was very strong especially compared to that dead creature of /fire/ that you kept on dragging. You barely covered up your trail! I followed your trail into town and noticed your power. It is quite simple you know. Easy for me to sense. I felt your power in a second floor room and so up I went to wait.”
-
What about this bracelet? Could you sense and follow the energy from this?
-
Grabbing the bracelet from his hand she inspects it closely. “I can try…I seem to feel a something coming from the north. But it’s underground?” She cocks her head trailing off with a questioning tone. “That’s odd. Why is it underground?”
-
He could be hiding out in a tunnel or a cave. Can you tell how far away it is?
-
“Let’s see here.” Placing a hand on the ground she sends a tendril of ice racing to follow the source of the energy. “Huh. About three hundred furlongs I would say. Not to far. You ready to get going?”
-
He could be hiding in a tunnel or a cave, or it could be a trap to lure us. Either way I want to go back to town and prepare; there’s no evidence we were here so the townsfolk will still welcome us back. While we’re there we can look for Kane, Demetrius’ friend the Old Woman mentioned, and we can also try and find out more about this map and where it leads.
Before we do anything though we need to hide /her/.
