Snow

That fateful day wasn't at all unusual. The sky was grey and rain poured down on the streets like the heavens were crying teas for all mankind. It's pitter-patter mingled with the icy winds that battered the walls of the fortress and toppled the trees around it. Snow fell down in hard clumps the size of a fist, breaking through the trees and burring deep within the snow covered plain. Tundra, if I might say. Nothing grew nor lived in this cold icy world. It was cursed hundreds of years ago when I arrived. I probably brought the curse with me from that place. That sad place that I used to call home.

"Mistress?" A light song sweet voice behind me said. I smiled, turning around to face my only dear friend in this wasteland.

"Hello Chi!" I smiled, patting her on her head. She really loved that. When we were kids, she used to beg for a rub on the head, almost like a dog. I smiled at the memory.

"Was it a sleep spell?" she asked leaning over the edge of the pool and I almost cursed. How could I space out in a time like this? Thinking of all the trouble I had caused and how the scenery was so familiar yet so strange. In reality, I had just almost killed the King and imprisoned him in a block of ice in a pool of freezing water that was poisoned and tainted with hate and malice.

"Awww man," I muttered looking up to the sky. "I am one messed up kid,"

"Chi doesn't understand," she said, probably disappointed that I had stopped patting her head.

"For you, Chi, that's alright," I said giving her head a good pat. She purred softly and I laughed. Damn, I would miss that.

"Chi, I'm leaving for awhile," I said, grabbing the cloak to the right of the pool. My hands shook as I attempted to button myself up. It was a bit messier than I had hoped but it would do. I tried picking up the staff to my left and it clattered to the floor. Dammit!! I was such a nervous wreck!

"Where to?" she asked. Why were her eyes so damn innocent? Didn't she know what I was going to do? What I had done?! I sighed, mentally constructing a mask to hide my feelings.

"Somewhere far away," I said bending down and grabbing the staff with control this time. "Someplace with no King Ashura," I whispered to myself, looking down at the sleeping figure below. He looked so peaceful, like he didn't have a care in the world.

I felt Chi's hand on my shoulder and I smiled at her. She was such a good friend. Mother even.

"At least, while you sleep," I whispered softly to the man at the bottom of the lake. "Have good dreams."
