 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.

[ That power is so unpredictable, but he knows he can't stop his brother from trying it on someone else if he tells him no now. He's too numb to care about the consequences to Dextera or himself, so he concedes with a stiff expression. ]
no subject
he swallows, and places both hands around one of his brother’s. ]
…
[ his hands glow with that familiar power, and he knows he’s using it, but—when he tries to purify the curse from his brother’s heart, the only thing he’s met with is the strangest shock of cold at the point of contact.
he gasps, and abruptly lets go. ]
no subject
He doesn't budge, just watching Dextera with dulled eyes and tipping his head as he speaks. ]
It seems it did not work.
no subject
You don’t feel any different?
[ his brother is still cold, and his voice is just as emotionless as before. it didn’t do anything, let alone fix the problem entirely. dextera shakes out a numbness in his hand, and at least this time, it disappears. ]
no subject
[ He feels the same, in that he feels nothing, physically or emotionally. He's numbed inside and out. There's so many apologies stacked up for later, but for now he holds his hand out to his brother to let him feel it and see that he's telling the truth. ]
no subject
[ dextera takes his brother’s chilled hand, holding it to his face, and it’s so cold that he feels like he might give himself frostbite if he lingers too long. ]
I don’t know what to do. Brother…
no subject
Leave me and tend to those you can. Not even death is permanent here, so I am sure there will be an end to this as well.
no subject
he has to hope that this won’t kill him, or anyone else. ]
Be careful. [ he nuzzles his face into his brother’s cold palm. ] I don’t want you hurt.
no subject
[ It isn't like he's doing much at all to begin with, so it's an easy thing to comply with. He doesn't feel like doing anything. He can't bring himself to care one bit.
He can't do much about the freezing. So that matter will just have to sort itself out, won't it? ]
