Rise of the Frozen Sovereign Chapter 97
"Dying?" Vane spat the word out, though his posture faltered. He steadied himself against the pulsating, metallic wall of the vault, his breathing heavy and ragged. "I’m the only one in this room who knows exactly how much time is left on the clock. You two are just ghosts haunting a graveyard that hasn't realized its own funeral yet."Aiden looked up, his eyes milky with the creeping frost. "Then why keep us alive, Vane? If we’re just loose ends, why not use that blade? It’s resting right there, cold and thirsty. Or are you waiting for the Syndicate to finish the paperwork?"Vane’s grip on his sword hilt tightened until the knuckles turned white. "You think this is about paperwork? You’re a liability, Aiden. But a high-value one. The Council wants your bloodline, your history, and whatever fucked-up biological anomaly you’ve turned into. I’m just the delivery boy.""A delivery boy who sold his own soul for a pension," Ignis growled, his voice vibrating with a low-frequency hum that m

Ignis lunged, his movements fluid and predatory, a blur of motion against the flickering amber light of the subterranean corridor. Vane didn't even draw his blade; he simply pivoted, his boot finding the base of the conduit, and swung a heavy, armored gauntlet with the practiced ease of a man who had spent a decade breaking bones for the Silver Moon."Stop," Aiden gasped, the word escaping him as a cloud of crystalline frost. He collapsed against the cold, sweating stone, his knees hitting the floor with a hollow thud. His skin was translucent now, the veins in his forearms pulsing with a slow, glacial rhythm that defied the laws of biology.Ignis skidded to a halt, his chest heaving, his eyes burning with a primal, golden intensity. "He’s mocking us, Aiden! He thinks we’re just loose ends waiting to be clipped.""He’s not mocking us, Ignis," Aiden whispered, his voice sounding like gravel grinding against ice. "He’s just... dying. Can’t you smell it on him? The rot of a man who sold

Vane didn’t look at Aiden. He kept his gaze locked on the heavy iron door of the vault, his hand resting absently on the hilt of his shortsword. "A soul? You think we have the luxury of souls, Aiden? We are just atoms hitting each other in the dark until we run out of momentum."Aiden forced a ragged breath, the cold blooming in his chest like a frozen flower. "You’ve spent too much time in the silence, Vane. It’s rotted your capacity for anything else.""Maybe," Vane muttered, finally turning. His eyes were tired—not the tired of a long journey, but the deep, existential exhaustion of a man who had burned every bridge he’d ever built. "But I’m still standing. You? You’re a flickering light. Once you’re gone, the room just gets dark again. Nobody mourns the light once the candles are gone."Ignis stepped forward, his frame lean and dangerous, the transformation flickering across his skin like shadows cast by a bonfire. "I’m not a candle, Vane. I’m the thin

Vane wiped a smudge of soot from his cheek, his eyes finally flickering toward Ignis with a hollow, distant pity. "Calculations are all we have left, kid. If you think the world runs on sentiment, you haven't been paying attention to the machinery keeping these walls upright. Sentiment gets you killed. Precision gets you through the night.""Precision?" Ignis let out a jagged, humorless laugh that echoed against the reinforced steel bulkhead. "You aren't precise, Vane. You’re just a coward who finally found a mirror, and you don’t like the reflection staring back at you."Aiden felt the familiar, agonizing numbness creeping up his fingers, turning his knuckles a ghostly, translucent blue. He leaned against the damp, sweating masonry, his breath hitching in the frigid air. "Vane. Look at me. When the Silver Moon comes for you—and they will, because people like you are never truly forgiven—what will you have left? You’re trading a living soul for a hollow promise of

"And you thought handing me over like a prize pig would finally earn you a seat at the high table?" Aiden asked, his voice dripping with a cold, jagged sarcasm. He didn't move, but the air around him began to distort, the moisture in the subterranean air crystallizing into a fine, swirling mist that clung to the damp stone walls of the vault.Vane took a deliberate step back, his boots crunching on the loose shale of the floor. "It’s not just a seat, Aiden. It’s a return to normalcy. Do you have any idea what it’s like to live without looking over your shoulder every time a shadow moves? To not fear the sound of heavy boots in the hall?"Ignis snarled, the sound low and guttural, vibrating in the narrow space between the iron-clad conduits. "You talk about normalcy, but you’ve spent three months watching us struggle. You saw him suffer. You saw him bleed frost. And you did nothing but calculate the best moment to turn the knife."Vane wiped a smudge of soot from his cheek, his eyes dr

Vane turned, his face illuminated by the flickering, dying light of his lamp, his expression devoid of the warmth Aiden had foolishly projected onto him for the last three months. "Redemption?" Vane scoffed, the word tasting like bile. "You think I want to be 'redeemed'? That’s a fairy tale for knights and idiots, Aiden. I want to survive. The Silver Moon Council doesn’t offer pardons. They offer quotas. You are my quota."Aiden felt the frost biting into his skin, a sharp, crystalline agony that traveled from his marrow outward. He clenched his jaw, forcing his hands into his pockets to hide the shivering. "You sold us out for a bureaucratic ledger entry? That’s the price of your loyalty, Vane? A clean slate in a kingdom that’s already burning?""I’m tired of running, kid," Vane said, his voice devoid of heat. "I’ve spent years in the Ashlands eating dust and sleeping with one eye open, waiting for the Council to find me. You showed up, walking disaster that you are, and you provide
