Cinderfrost
"Something has to be done or else..."
Harsh, the voice broke the silence in a shady hall where three figures stood gathered, sitting on skull white thrones, a room that was nothing but a remnant of an ancient, and cruel, past but still even that past had enough power to alter the present.
The speaker was tall, and claded in black robes that flewd upon him like liquid darkness, or maybe he was pure shadow himself, another figures lift a pale hand to require his silent, with an impertinent smile upon his face.
"Really? and tell me then, since when you are the spokeperson for our will Deimos?"
The black-claded figure, Deimos, looked at him disgusted, a cold and yet insane fury slowly rising in his eyes, he opened the mouth to answer his comrade but then a third figure interrupted him.
She was a woman, with long blood-red robes, her skin has the color of the polished steel while her eyes was like shimmering rubies, her gaze magnificent.
"This is no time to quarrel like some stupid mortal Thanathos" she said "you should know better than to try our brother's patience for your own entertainment, in fact you should know it better than anyone else since your domain is so closely tied to his powers.
And beside we got a problem to solve."
The white figure arose from his throne, all in him shouted about cold and despair, he moved lighlty emotting no sound at all and with a few paces joined her sister, looking at her with his mischievous smile.
"ah, Bellum, sometimes i think you are too serious but i got to admit that you got a point, he has gone too far now and futhermore, he's risking to damage our source of power...he must be stopped i suppose."
Again Deimos spoke, with a loud and terrible voice "You suppose? Curse you! if you haven't told him the Secrets all of this would not have happened idiot! i wonder what kind of madness took you to reveal that information to a mere and stupid mortal."
The smile vanished from Thanathos face, he confronted Deimos with a gaze colder than the abyssal ice, a gaze even his brother could not sustain wuthout harm and the black-claded figure step back few paces.
Then Thanathos closed his eyes, his face was tired now, as if the weight of the eternity claimed its tribute at once.
He spoked again, not with the previous amused voice but with a voice that seemed to come from the sidereal depths "i have not told him anything" said.
The words lingered in the air, suspended like some sort of death sentence, both Deimos and Bellum was shocked by that words, if words could kill, if they could have been killed, that phrase was enough to inflict them thousand deaths, thousand painful deaths.
Another voice broke the silence as another figure walked in the dim light of the room, this one dressed in ruined green robes.
"He's right, he hasn't told him anything" said the newcomer "the lightbringer did it"
This time a flaming fury happeared on the others' face, Bellum was the first to spoke with a voice louder than all the armies of the reality "He did it? Morbus you can't really be serious!"
The green claded man nodded, although his face was covered by an hood, then replied "But i am sister, i don't know what are his plans but it seems that there's no time to waste. With the knowledge not to speak about the powers he now got, the mortal could easily do almost anything if he realized what he is able to accomplish"
Deimos spoke again "I don't understand" replied "why our master permitted all of this? is he not one of his creatures too?"
Thanathos shook his head "free will" murmured "a treacherous gift indeed"
"Exactly" replied the harsh voice of Morbus, not another word was necessary, that was everything they needed to know.
The woman walked briefly deep in thought and when she spoke showed some sort of determination in her tune "Well then, we got time as long as he remains in that place, maybe enough time to devise a plan or maybe he will regain some of his humanity, enough to make him vulnerable once again"
This time the smile was upon Deimos'face, but it was a deluded smile as he replied to his sister "Useless mumbling yours, you know what happened the last time a human fell into the Cinderfrost. It's not like that he will regain something he simply do not want to regain nothing because, even if he do not know it rationally, his soul knows the truth about the grim power he's acquiring!"
Another silence filled the room, this time a silence full of a desperate need of denial, but that was not a situation the they could deny, not even their master could.
"Then we must prepare for war" said Bellum.
The others nodded and one by one left the room, from behind a marble pillar a figure emerged, it was a kid with golden hair and golden eyes.
He was smiling.
"Oh yes" said with a voice filled of sadistic happiness "that and the destruction of all you care for..."
A moment later he disappeared, while in a far away place a Human boy rose to his feet, his eyes filled with tears.
