"Amber!" I screamed. Hurrying up to my sister caused me to lose all caution. This resulted in a broken door as I violently pushed it open. To my shock, I find Amber crying on the floor grasping her head in agony. Standing behind her is a Kodra woman. On the floor are Amber's dual-wield blades of snow, ice and wind. The embodiments of Winter: Mistral and Glace. She must have attempted to retaliate. Amber was partly shifted to her Ordra forme, her wings of angel snow appeared, however they were smaller than they are at full Ordra, and her eyes became a pale sky blue. Her skin still retained it's Terran colouring instead of the almost white colour of her Ordra skin. She must have attempted to fight. Her hair was a light blonde, not full white. All this indicates it is only a partial shift. But for Amber to be crying on the floor like this, something far worse than physical injury must have occurred... The Kodra woman. Short, dark purple hair with a black fringe. Déjà vu... It was only when I saw her tattoo of a serpentine dragon circling her right eye did I recognise the similarity. The same hair colouring and tattoo as Korto. Same evil grin too. I only took notice of all this afterwards, however because I did not hesitate to attack the Kodra. My left arm now covered in dark green scales with small vines running in and around the scales. Dragon claws, sharp as spears, glowing pale lime. Just as my claw blades were about to reach her torso, she grabbed my wrist and sent an indescribable pain through my arm. Screaming like Amber did earlier, the agony coursed through my veins, as if she had sent pain itself into my bloodstream. After a hint of a wicked grin, she spoke. Soft, gentle whispers in slow melody. She recited the poem Realmfall, a song about the supposed end of the Cluster.
Warring rage between the kings
A warcry of battle sings
Peace is lost by chaos pain
Power of order begins to wane
Elder Blaze hands stained with blood
Cluster Kings of Regicide
Melting ice brings forth the flood
For vengeance of the ones that died
Dragon's fire within the skies
Auburn pyre reflect in her eyes
Autumn leaves upon the snow
Sister tears of fallen woe
Autumn Green, the blaze's bane
Fallen fire doused by silver rain
Wings of an angel bring forth a hurricane
Bring peace to a land plagued by pain
The Autumn Light will call
In the days of Realmfall
Still stunned by the man, I stood mute as she walked away, stating one final chilling sentence. "I thoroughly enjoyed your pain. I look forward to the screams of snow..."
And she was gone...
