All That Remains Forever Cold Novels & Stories

You killed all of us," Jenevra said vacantly, a smile gliding across her lips—calm, impassive. - You're crazy! Mida screamed. We saved everyone! - No, - the woman's voice sounded like an echo. - Listen. Everyone froze, among the rattles of the dead, among the impacts of falling bodies on the ground, other sounds filled the air - something was torn, settled with a gnash, bent and became different - free. It suddenly became very cold, the sounds rushed through space along with the icy breath of another world - the dead. - Reeta, - said Radolyub. She no longer has an owner.

POV DARLENE The ride back from the Southern Wastes was no longer a journey through a frozen wasteland, but a frantic race through a world that was shedding its skin. As the Great Winter receded, the ice melting into a thick, grey slush that flooded the mountain passes, the air felt charged with a heavy, electric silence—the preamble to the "Eternal Silence" that Jackson’s madness had invited to our doorstep.

It was the "Cold Center." ​She reached into that vacuum. Instead of pulling, she pushed her grief and her rage into it, letting the silence swallow the heat. ​In the physical world, the temperature in the cottage dropped forty degrees in a single second. The embers in the hearth turned black. Caleb’s golden runes flashed a brilliant, pale white.

He looked at me dead in the eye and directed the lyrics towards me and they stung so bad ! Guilt, remorse, anger, sadness, etc had started to replace my previous excitement and it seemed as if my song choice had back fired at me when he compared his cold heart to winter and stated that it shall remain cold towards me just like winter would obstinately stay even in the month of August ! He mentioned that his heart could even work as a “Snowpiercer” in the freaking “winter” and that it shall remain so for a long running time. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"With this kiss, I bind you to my heart and no one- nothing will ever break this cable of love, not even death." "You are raving crazy!" "Speak no more, love."

The hooded figure stood there, his violet eyes on the retreating torches. Then on me, and then up at her. He nodded once and was gone. I sheathed my blade. The palace quietened down. But I knew that this was only the beginning. She was waking. And nothing would stay the same. The snow fell thicker. Covered the dead, covered the blood. I looked north one last time. The torches were gone. But the howls lingered in the wind, distant and broken. And for the first time in centuries, I felt the cold.

The sudden, extreme cold makes our breath turn to white mist as frost rapidly begins to coat the piles of silver bars. It is not the natural, biting chill of a mountain winter; it is a clinical, biting freeze that carries the scent of death and alchemical preservation. Within seconds, the warm geothermal hum of the ruins is completely extinguished, replaced by a crystalline silence that feels like it’s stealing the very motion from our limbs.

The Frozen Wastes extended out before Ethan and Selene, an perpetual land of ice and snow that appeared to swallow all light and warmth. The gnawing wind yelled through the fruitless scene, carrying with it a cold so strongly that it felt like it could solidify the soul itself. Each step they took crunched against the frozen ground, resounding through the endless vacancy.

On New Year’s Eve, Kian Newman never came home. Instead, he had someone deliver a container of frozen ravioli and sent me a single message: "Stay safe this year." I had barely locked the screen when a photo popped up in the company group chat. Isabel Wilkinson, Kian's assistant, had posted it. It was a lavish holiday dinner spread across the table, every dish clearly homemade. The caption read: "Someone spent all day cooking so I could have a taste of home. Love you."

The days in Nicolas' mansion seemed to stretch endlessly. Mia found herself trapped in her room, her voluntary prison, contemplating the life she had left behind and the love she yearned for with all her heart. The distance from Esteban made her suffer, and the coldness with which she treated Nicolas only made things worse. Every attempt he made to get closer to her was met with icy glances and sharp words.
