F:R:O:S:T ~Bite~ (CRIMSONNN)

[deepwallow]

Huh…… That can be accepted! after all, Frezor is considered the most fear of gods since he basically took over the planet in the Ice Age and only gave it back after being persuaded XD SO THIS SHALL HAPPEN! Tis Thine turn Crimmy!))

[CrimsonMoon]

-TIME . SKIP-

Aeva awoke the next morning to the usual violent knocking on her door. the morning went on like usual; being fussed over, being dragged basically everywhere but her wrist until it had red marks, being forced to eat despite still being full from the night before and lastly, being dragged to the festival grounds...

by the time it SEEMED like morning, small snowflakes were falling but she was made to dance and pray any way despite slipping several times and her muscles screaming from cold.. even the choker that had been welded around her neck was freezing.. but just a few more minutes.. a few more...

[deepwallow]

JonJon and Rezorin were there again, at JonJon's insistence. When they got there, Rezorin had forced there way to get near the front. JonJon smiled happily and waved to Aeva as she danced, hoping she'd see

[CrimsonMoon]

Seeing the small movement as she weaved and murmured, she smiles slightly, feeling a little better... until she felt something strange when murmuring the last phrase of the prayer,"--Excita terris nivis, et lapidibus.." the wind had changed... the air was... warm..?

(Awaken these lands of ice and stone*)

[deepwallow]

The Ice-landers blinked at the sudden change, and Rezorin did too, frowning slightly as he looked around. JonJon noticed as well, looking to the sky.

[CrimsonMoon]

the dancers had slowed and stopped... all staring up...

a blast of dry, scorching hot wind suddenly screamed across the festival.. howlling like thousands of wolves but burning like the sun..the wind so powerfuly, some children had to be held close not to be blown away..

Aeva crouches with the rest, but she was at the base of the stone statue... internally she knew.. /Mother/

[deepwallow]

Rezorin frowned fully, now truly mad as the ice was melted. However, a terrible blast of snow blasted back against the hot wind with a vengeance, covering all in a sightless blizzard as the Ice-landers looked up with worry. "Frezor!" Came his name from many lips. "We've envied his wrath!" One said. And indeed, Rezorin had vanished and JonJon disappeared while the blizzard had obscured everyone's vision, as suddenly Frezor appeared in the snow, walking forward to the staue. He was dressed in pure black furs. His eyes were a silver ice color and his hair was pure white. Frost covered the base of the Statue as he glared, crossing his arms. "Come out Sakuya!" He commanded, the blizzard swirling around them but leaving a funnel around the people and where the statue was.

[CrimsonMoon]

The Fire-folk cowered back and gravitated toward the statue. Aeva pressing against its base... as the searing wind suddenly fades and a warm glow appears directly across from Frezor," I'm here." A voice like silk muses as the Goddess steps down onto the ground, the blizzard breaking apart as if she had a huge wall infront of her. her eyes were burning with pure flames but she smiled warmly

[deepwallow]

Frezor narrowed his eyes. "I do not complain when you covert my followers to your religion. I am not a jealous god, and they may choose who they please for themselves. However, I will not tolerate you invading my home when already you have so much more land than I do." He said, his words pure ice and cold fact

[CrimsonMoon]

" But you cover my lands every year, whether I will it or not, only to retreat back to your... home," She smiles sweetly and tilts her head... there was something familiar about her," I won't let you chase humanity too the brink of extinction again.. ever."

[deepwallow]

Frezor smiles slightly. "Ah, yes. But it wasn't just you who tried to stop me. Last time, all the others did too, remember? And that was when I had no followers, when you all teased me for it while you all had piles of followers at your call. Don't delude yourself." He chuckled. "However, as I said, I'm not a jealous god, unlike some. So instead, I'll choose a simple demand."

[CrimsonMoon]

" The winters have grown longer, my friend," She points out," So.. my attack will continue until I reach the end of your regions where i will stay for a month then go home.. sounds fair, yes?" She grins and holds her hand out to his," I'd say thats a good bargain."

[deepwallow]

Frezor is silent as he thinks. "You will only go to the Frosttooth mountains, for my land is vast and no human lives past there. However, in return...." Here he looked around until he spotted Aeva and pointed at her. "Your precious Oracle must stay here in my lands until your month is up."

[CrimsonMoon]

Aeva stifles a cry of fear and shrinks back despite herself. Her thoughts were racing to,' mom wont give me to him.. She loves me.. She'll refuse and probably fightback.. She'll protect me... I've done eerything for her.. She HAS to protect me..'

Sakura pauses., glancing back at Aeva and frowning,"... The Oracle should not be known to anyone but those closest to me... She is unsafe now..." The goddess looks angry but turns back to Frezor," Keep her forever... And you must protect her."

almost immediately there was a cry of outrage from the FireFolk. The obviously werent as willing to give up the Oracle Peacefully.. but they only thought of her as the Oracle.. not human..

Aeva can only tremble and sink to the damp ground... She couldnt see... But the only thing that flashed through her mind was 'no one cares'.. They didnt care for her as a human.. Just a tool..

[deepwallow]

Frezor looked at her and then chuckled, shaking her head. "I never meant her harm. I still don't. And you never change, eh Sakuya?" He mused. "Then our deal is struck. You'll give summer to the lands except past the frost teeth mountains. I keep yor oracle Here for the month you give summer."

[CrimsonMoon]

Sakuya glares at him but sighs and nods faintly, disappearing in smoke.. the fire-folk eventually start going back t their respective places to gather their belongings until oly Aeva was left.. she was hugging her knees and shaking... ' You'd only want me to stay with him because.. because you want me safe, right?... you llove me.... I loved you....'

[deepwallow]

Frezor walked up to her and stopped in front of her. He looked at her but then his gaze soften. "I am sorry, for what it's worth. However, contrary to Sakuya's words, after the month is up, you may leave. I will not force you to stay here after the month is up. For it is already unfair that you have to stay." He said. He sighed and atrail of chill wind came out. "You may stay here, near the border if it seems more like home. Once again, I am sorry." He apolotized before crouching down and touching her hand. A beautiful snowflake tattoo appeared on her hand, a light blue color, before he stood, nodded to his people, and vanished in mini blizzard. JonJon soon ran out to Aeva and crouched next to her, worried

[CrimsonMoon]

Aeva nly lifted her head when he touched her hand, her eyes dull and... hopeless... but she glances at JonJon and forces a smile though it was a pitiful attempt really

[deepwallow]

Jonjon gave her a big hug. "Its ok Aeva. We're gonna help you be ok!!" He promised her.

[CrimsonMoon]

Aeva's hand hesitantly wraps her arms around him,"... I dont want togo back..." She whispers suddenly, burying her face in the boy's hair
