Our Promise Broke Under the Snow

A new beginning

Hello everyone, KaleidoMirror is back once again! It's been a long week, but I'm glad to see that our prologue has been well-received, and I'm excited to be part of this new story. That's why I've decided to release this chapter, which will leave you with more questions than answers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did working on some things. I would be more than happy to hear what you think about this story: your comments, favorites, and follows motivate me to put my best effort into it.

In this case, I decided to split the previously published Chapter 2 into two parts, which have already been modified and adjusted. By the way, all my other works are up to date, except for the Tokyo Ghoul Crossover because I'm looking for the original files. Due to certain issues, I posted a version that wasn't the final one, so I'm providing you with the V2 version.

With that said, I present to you the latest update. Without further ado, see you next time...

In the desolate wasteland, on the icy borders of Solitas' tundra, where cutting winds and perpetual snow kept intruders at bay, the vastness of the landscape stretched as far as the eye could see. A white canvas concealed secrets in the shadows, and only the whisper of the frigid breeze broke the silence.

However, in a strange coexistence, a mountain range near the taiga provided a haven for expansive evergreen forests. The trees, standing tall and snow-covered, rose like sentinels over the desolate landscape, their branches adorned with frost like frozen jewels.

On that day, a mysterious region became completely silent and shrouded in thick fog. The place turned inhospitable, but two figures emerged from the very essence of the mist. The dense haze enveloped them, giving them an ethereal air.

"At first, it was weak."

The light was so intense that I couldn't discern what was happening around me. Everything was so dazzling that it prevented me from orienting myself. I was completely lost. The feeling of helplessness permeated my body, but at some point, something changed.

Like a rewind, my consciousness returned gradually; my senses awakened. Warmth spread within me, allowing me to breathe more freely. When I regained vision, I found myself in a different landscape, amidst icy hills and towering trees, in the midst of the mysterious night.

"But..."

I wasn't alone. It was difficult to explain, but I felt it deeply. Miyu, my little sister, was by my side, looking around with the same disbelief I felt. But deep in our hearts, the only thing that mattered was that we were together, in a place of which we knew not what to expect.

I wished to ignore the pain coursing through me as I tried to control my breathing. Courage clashed with the frigid currents of the weather.

It was as if the veil from my eyes lifted, allowing me to be aware of us. Both of us were injured and disoriented, but I noticed that Miyu's condition was better. Her face revealed concern for me. I set aside secondary thoughts, focusing only on her safety. My instincts were immediate; I gently embraced her in a silent hug, where both of us could barely contain our amazement and joy at being reunited. Our embrace was a form of support as our gazes marveled at the unknown surroundings surrounding us.

Miyu shivered in the frigid wind that enveloped her, initially scared but managing to conquer that fear by becoming aware of her surroundings. A sense of security embraced her when she found Shirou by her side. He silently observed her, enveloping her in a fraternal hug, a form of protection amid the chaos.

He shifted his attention to both, noting the differences in their wounds: minor cuts, small bruises, and various lacerations marked the luck they had in the catastrophe.
