Event Fourteen.

[awashmods]

Roses bloom and cease to be, But we shall the Christ-child see.

t's very, very cold. It's cold enough that you'll see your breath fog in the air before you, that goosebumps appear on your arms and legs and a chill goes up your spine. You're inside, in a huge palace with sweeping arches and rooms, but it's no real shelter from the cold -- it's just as cold inside as out. There's a throne room, a kitchen, various rooms and even a dungeon to be explored -- and outside, a frigid, frozen garden, a lake that's naturally frozen over, and miles, and miles of snow as far as the eye can see. But be careful while you explore. The snowflake soldiers are naturally dangerous, but even more dangerous than that...there's that creeping sensation of numbness going up your arm, a pang through your chest, and the slow, slow freezing from the inside out. Try not to leave any of your friends behind, okay? Even if they might look a bit too uncannily like some of the statues hanging around for decoration when they're frozen over.

Certainly, it has its weaknesses. [ Not that his own body is entirely human at this point, anyway. ]

But I did not think that the cold would bring you down like this. [ Especially not when Mutsunokami had been so excited about playing around at the first sign of snow. But where the hell did that guy go? Because to Tristan it feels like he’s talking to an entirely different person.

And it’s…very disconcerting, to say the least. ]

It'll take more than some cold to beat me.

( And he means that. All of this is definitely more than the cold and he's been thinking about how things started to get worse after he broke his mirror. This must also be related to it. )

That mirror...

[noholdsbard]

[ That final statement says it all. ]

Then you’ve…broken it?

[tosa]

( Really, all he can do is grumble in response. He figured out that it was going to be a problem the moment it appeared and he knew he'd made a mistake the moment he broke it. So this is it? Being so cold he can barely feel, feeling like his mind is in a fog, and like his heart is a burdensome thing... )

It was a bad idea.

( He knows, he knows. And he retreats a little more into himself, trying hopelessly to warm himself up. Fingers tug at Tristan's cloak around him and the tips are blue with frost. But he's not really thinking about this human body as much as he is about his true form. If he can just protect that... that's more important because it's what keeps him alive. Something something, this human body might be a burden but it'll be fine maybe. )

I don’t blame you. Enchanted objects are by nature very tempting.

[ And even if you hadn’t planned on breaking the mirror sometimes it’ll just happen to you by chance.

He places a hand on Mutsunokami’s back, hoping to reassure him. ]

But breaking enchantments is another matter.
