Jax pulled me close on shrinking island, four lines blazing white silver around us both like small shield that black flame smoke could not yet drink through, but shield was thin and flickering. “Amelia,” he whispered into my white hair that glowed dim now under black flame light, “if ice breaks, we go into water that is under ice that is water that never freezes because Old Oak fire keeps it warm enough to drown Whites.

He might go back once he gets the guy he's holding to the castle. ————————— Xavier and Lyca are back... The second one is more calm because she has let go of all the bad feelings.

I'll go back to where I should be!" Snow was sure of what he said. "No! You can't get out of the woods!" Xavier retorted.

They coil at my ankles, cool and comforting—the only thing that doesn’t look at me like I’m a nightmare wearing a child’s face. I run until my lungs burn and my legs tremble. Then I slow. Keep moving. East, always east. Toward whatever waits beyond the borderlands. Toward whatever I have to become to survive. Raven Winterstar disappears into the dark trees. Behind her, the camp lights flicker like dying stars. And somewhere high above, a black crow circles once—silent witness—before winging after her into the night.

Josh's assurances that everything would be back to normal in a week or two provided her with a sense of hope, and she clung to that. By 4 pm, after a long day of work on the ranch, Winter decided to take a dip in the nearby river, her favorite spot within the ranch. It was only a short distance from her small log cabin. She didn't hesitate to remove all her clothing, leaving only her underwear, as this place was her private haven.

Winter explained, "I'm looking for something—something that belongs to me. But the seawater in the abyss is home to ancient and powerful sea beasts I can't handle. Mr. Snow, your strength is immeasurable. I'd like you to come with me and help deal with the sea beasts." Hercule protested, "Ms. Winter, I'm sorry, but this is too dangerous. We can't allow Mr. Snow to risk his life." "Mr. Snow, please reconsider," Alistair and Ajax echoed. However, Winter was unwilling to give up. After finally seeing a glimmer of hope, she couldn't let it slip away. No matter the cost, she had to sacrifice! "Mr. Snow, come with me for a moment." Winter stood up and walked toward the distant forest.

She was hungry, tired, and alone, with nothing to keep her company but the sound of her own footsteps. She made her way down to the shore, her boots crunching in the snow, and as she drew closer, she saw that the lake was not yet frozen. The water was dark and still, reflecting the winter sky above. She could feel the cold emanating from it, but despite that, an urge came over her to wash the rotting food that had been thrown on her. With a deep breath, Sierra waded into the water, gasping as the icy chill enveloped her. She scrubbed her skin with her hands, shivering and teeth chattering, but the cold was invigorating in a way.

The temperature had undergone a "System-Collapse," dropping to a level where "Analog" breath froze before it could escape the lungs.

The flare paints the sky a violent, angry red and the storm replies like a beast offended. Snow lunges at us in sheets and knives and the world narrows to wind and white. I put my face into the storm and all the noise narrows to one impossible sound: his voice in the air, and Aunt Ruby’s curse that follows it. He does not move like a human.
