And here my child is where you will find your next task
”The essence of frost?”
Aye. That and of your sister. Lucretia Von Wolfenstein.
”My… Sister?”
Her sacrifice to this world cannot be understated, always fighting for those weaker than her without anything in return. She’d of fought to her last breath if allowed but instead that chance was taken from her by her mother and ilk.
Saturn felt a dull anger somewhere in the back of his head that he wasn’t sure if it was his or someone elses. The anger threatened to boil over and saturn let out a soft sigh. It was too intense to be his own and eventually it dulled into a sadness. The outsider turned to stare at saturn and the latter would wipe away a few tears that had trailed from his eyes.
Her influence is still within you even now, even as your body has set into stone. There is no going back to what she was and she knows that as much as you know the cool kiss of this weather on your nape. But her sacrifice and your birth has paved the way for a timeless guardian of Earthland. Or it’s Destroyer..
Saturn didn’t know what to think about that and shook his head. The outsider turned away and motioned for him to go about and look. Something felt strange and he could feel a tugging as the Demi-god wandered away from his parent. The words that he spoke were harsh and true, both of which he wondered if he would ever really see what the outsider intended him to.
The tugging felt like it was from someone else entirely and he decided to follow it. What felt like hours turned to days, what felt like days turned to weeks. Saturn’s body felt like it had fully acclimated to the weather, longer fur maybe? Or perhaps an inward temptation to that of the frost behind his arcane roots.
He stopped briefly to look around; the perpetual blizzard that he was in hadn’t ceased for the entire time that he had been here. Making him wonder quietly if that the essence of frost was in fact the very land. But something deep inside told him another answer lay before him.
So he walked, past trees, past the rolling hills that stopped the wind. Eventually the blizzard calmed and he was left amidst a white winter wonderland. From one side of the plains to that of the next was nothing but the snow. His chest tickled a little bit and he’d breathe out slowly. But there was no heat and he’d raise his brows ever so slightly.
Deep within there was a soft rumbling and he’d step forward, the crisp winter air seemed to still a bit and a pair of icy eyes seemed to stare up out of the snow at him. Saturn blinked and that icy eyes had vanished. Perhaps… The beings born of this place were it’s essence or at least a bi-product.
”...Iceberg. We’re in Iceberg. That makes sense.”
Knowledge, both ancient and current flooded his mind and he’d crack his eyes open just a little bit to look around a bit more properly. To ‘see’ what was needed. Scooping some of the snow up he’d tilt his head to one side. That was not the answer, but the whole of this place didn’t seem like it either. He felt the tugging on his back and he’d slowly turn…
