Cold Heart

Chapter 06

"Seven thousand years." Kingo started, stepping into the cabin of his private jet with Karun behind him, camera in hand. The rest of us sat around, ignoring Karun filming Kingos documentary on what could quite possibly be he end of the world. "That's how long the battle between Eternals and Deviants has raged for. You think I'm a movie star." Kingo continued, Sprite sitting beside Sersi who was entranced by her phone, Ikaris eating a bowl of peanuts at the bar and me sitting away from them all with my eyes closed. I peeked an eye open with a frown at the noise Kingo was making. "Well, I am. But I am also... an Eternal." He claimed dramatically.

"Kingo, what are you doing?" Sprite asked with annoyance, my eyes falling shut again.

"I think we should be remembered, so... I am making a documentary about us." He mentioned to them, proud of his idea as he sat across from Sprite. "You are about to meet my fellow Eternal, Sprite. Sprite, tell them about yourself."

"Oh, wait." She said once the camera was on her, reaching into her jacket before pulling her empty hand out, flipping him off before making herself invisible.

"Okay, well, we'll circle back to her." Kingo said awkwardly when Karun turned the camera on him again for his reaction. "This is Sersi. Sersi, tell them about yourself." He prompted, Ikaris taking Sprites old seat as she looked up from her phone nervously.

"Uh..."

"We're rolling." Kingo reminded.

"Well, uh..." She tried to think of the words, Ikaris looking to her with interest to hear the explanation she would come up with. "I can change a rock into water. Uh, I could turn a rock into wood. Or a rock into metal. Actually, one time, I turned a rock into air." She started to ramble with excitement taking over.

"Cut." Kingo called. "Um, you know what? Why don't you think about it, and we'll get back to you, okay?" He told her before turning back to his camera man. "Let's go." Kingo nodded, standing up with Karun to find me.

"Here we have the ice queen herself" Kingo started in a soft whisper, taking the seat across from me as I slowly opened my eyes with a glare.

"Go away Kingo" I said simply, closing my eyes again once I thought he would leave.

"She has mahd wy'ry which means she could turn on us at any moment and try to kill us" He explained in a dark dramatic tone. "The only one who could ever get through to her was Druig, though she will never admit that" Kingo told the camera, my eyes shooting open at the name. "What?" He looked to me, wanting to know what I thought of suddenly, fear striking him at my alarmed look.

"Nothing" I shook my head, blinking away the thought and standing up to walk away.

Present Day
Australia

Walking alongside the group of Eternals we had all made our way through the barren land, finding a Deviant laying dead outside of a house.

"This is the Deviant you fought in London?" Kingo asked out when we approached it carefully.

"It's different." Ikaris said. "There must be more out there than we thought." He added a second thought after a moment.

"Oh. Is... Is this a Deviant, sir?" Karun asked with excitement as they stepped to it to get a closer look, the rest of us just walking by.

"Yep." Kingo nodded.

"It's a beautiful creature." Karun chuckled.

"What? This? This? No. It's hideous. You've never had one try to bite your head off. Roll." He ordered, stepping back to follow us all as Karun lifted the camera to film.
