You. That's right, YOU.

My muse is blindfolded and listening. Go on anon and whisper something into their ear. It can be anything you like, a confession, a secret, a memory – there are no limits.

{ I can’t wait for more art of the championship skin since my ashe’s looks are now based on that instead of freljord. }

"On one hand this place is FREEZING and I desperately want to start a fire to warm up. On the other hand, you guys made everything out of wood around here. I don't want to accidentally roast a village. How do you guys do it? How do you stay warm?"

—≪♔≫ “ Oh you know. Fur. Heavy coats. Most of us are used to the climate. “

She couldn’t help, but grin, feeling amused with the other’s despair over the temperature.

“ We do use fire too. Come, why don’t you come to my house and you can warm yourself by the furnace? “

It would be the first time she had played since the accident that took the skill in her fingers away.

}{💎}{ “ … I will defend myself.”

Not a threat, a warning. Her body shifted into a defensive stance, sensors locking onto the arrows and calculating possible trajectory.

“My processes will shift into self-preservation mode. I believe your words, but I cannot lower my guard.” She stated, the chainsaws integrated into her arms beginning to whir dangerously.

“If you wish to liberate me, you have to outthink my body’s programming. You have to out think the Creator, the source of your woes. I …” She winced again, but she got the words out.

“I believe in you, Ashe.”

—≪♔≫ “ Alright. “

Aim. She had to be perfect, there was no room for error. She moved quickly, enhanced by her cybernetic implants. A shot to the first arm segment, then she rolled to the ground. A fake shot was tossed at her head, knowing it wouldn’t hit, but should drive it off course. A second shot was fired immediately after, aiming for the other arm segment.

She dove to the side, aiming three for her tail. Only one needed to connect in that middle grove. The last? She had to get behind her, aim one directly for the center of her back. She moved swiftly, propelling herself off a rubble surface, aiming one directly for her sweet spot.

This had to work. Her body couldn’t take much more of this exertion. She had been injured after all, but her suit allowed her to move beyond that.

}{💎}{ “I’m one of those drones, Ashe. I know his vision better than anyone, I was the first. I may have my own will … but while my mind is free, if controlled, this body is not. I can’t fight the urges programmed into it. If I do … pain is inevitable.”

She had been conditioned into this fighting machine because she had been given no choice in the matter. If she was still human, her expression would have probably be one of pain and sadness.

But only red eyes stared out beneath her visor.

“I could tell you many things, Project. But any one of them would set my wires ablaze. Don’t you see? I can’t feel, I can’t act, unless It’s conductive to the Creator’s wishes. No matter how much I wish to be otherwise-”

Wrong statement. She let out a hiss of pain as one of the cables connected to her stinger radiated heat, sending a wave of pain through her mind.

“E-Error. I didn’t mean … to say that.” She murmured, refocusing her attention on Ashe. “Now you have a glimpse of my … life.”

Hell would have been appropriate, but that would have made it worse.

—≪♔≫ “ Will you trust me? I wish to free you from this, but I have to damage some of your circuitry. “

She called forth a few of the arrows, notching them into the bow. From what her scanners said. . . There was four spots she needed to hit to render her paralyzed. Cut the circuitry, but not kill her. She could do this. Only if the other stood down long enough.

“I didn’t, but I’m happy to have a name to go with that beautiful face.” Ahri complimented once more. “I was being quite serious I assure you, I hold the heat you need within me.”

Two could play the more touchy game. Ahri strode up to Ashe and while walking just behind her brought her hand to give a gentle yet firm squeeze.

“Mmm, the produce is ripe.” She mused. “Perfectly in season, a shame those hands are a more pressing matter since I’d love to press against you.”

—≪♔≫ “ The thing about my produce is it’s fresh all year round. You’ll have plenty of time, Ahri. “

She laughed, trying to shrug off the embarrassed feeling that was starting to creep up on her. She shuddered a little. This was going to be a rather interesting day.

—≪♔≫ “You have to stop being so reckless. It’s going to cost you or someone else their life.”

A sigh came. This wasn’t the first time Ashe had brought this lecture to the table and it wouldn’t be the last. He thought for a moment though. It wasn’t like when he was a kid, the people he cared about could remember when he rewound, when the fights would reset. Hell he even kept track of how close people’s vitals got to ceasing before he would rewind everything. Ekko felt like he had to.

The goal of the left hand was to be the one doing everything in secret or close to secret. All of the work the young man did were things where he had to mostly work alone until the situation meant otherwise. Everyone had their place in the resistance when it came to teams. Everyone except Ekko. Ashe had Leona and they’d gone on to become lovers, Lucian and Fiora had brought Yi into their fold to help him recover and then there was Ekko. In a way he filled in the missing part of Ashe’s unit, but most of the time he felt disconnected.

“I’ll be more careful…” Ekko answered. He wasn’t even willing to argue right now despite having a counter ready. The psuedo master of time just wasn’t in the mood. He’d been thinking about his place in the resistance, even over thinking it probably.

—≪♔≫ “ Now since that has been addressed, I feel like it’s time to go on to something else. “

She removed the visor from her head, setting it down. The suit couldn’t be removed, not until after the war, but at least it could make her feel like she was doing her best to shrug off the leadership role. She stood, turning her chair around so she could have her front leaning against the back of it. Something that probably looked not fitting of a queen at all.

“ Talk to me. What’s on your mind. You’ve been plagued with doubts, haven’t you? “

}{💎}{ “Acquiring target …”

The voice, robbed of all emotion, scoped out the situation. A quick function test, a flexing of her grappling stinger and a whirring of her chainsaw-pincers, confirmed that her systems were working at full capacity.

Of course they were. They were powered by her crystal, after all.

She eyed the rooftops, looking for her target. Program drones had confirmed that the enemy known as Ashe had been incapacitated by Jinx’s chomper mines. Yet reports also contradicted, mentioning that archer fire consisting of arrows that froze systems.

Her sensors finally picked up a signature from the building in front of her, matching Ashe’s heat signature … mostly? Curious.

Though she immediately banished the curiosity from her mind, or at least the program restrictions Viktor had placed upon her did. She was a machine now. Idle wonder no longer had a place.

She aimed her tail precisely, shooting a grappling hook only halfway up, so as not to alert her prey (Probably). Sinking her claws into the metal, she readied her combat systems, and with one precise launch, pulled herself up and over onto the rooftop.

“No escape, Ashe. Submit for re-purposing, or be eliminated.” She uttered, faceplate covering glowing red eyes.

—≪♔≫ “Is that so?”

She turned, firing a volley of arrows at the assailant. One quick scan proved this was a special operative working under Viktor. Skarner, was the name showing up. Fast and deadly… Ashe was going to have to kite this one out until backup could arrive.

“Maybe Viktor should have programmed you to be a little less predictable.”

}{💎}{ “Programmed implies a complete overhaul of cognitive functions.” A spinning chainsaw shielded Skarner from the arrows, the heat from the rotation keeping the system from freezing.

“Previous mental abilities still exist for optimal function. Mental and emotional blockers keep me focused and able to carry out my mission within acceptable results.” She advanced forward, slowly. A reckless charge would end with her frozen solid. She had to corner the archer, best she could.

Though why she mentioned her mental blockers diverted subroutines to figure out the reasoning of giving out such valuable information.

“Again. Stand down or be subdued.”

—≪♔≫ “ I extend the same to you. I will not falter. I will not fall. Tell me, if you have such capabilities still, why are you with Viktor? Don’t you see what he’s trying to do? Turn us all into mindless drones to create his perfect image. “

Warm tongue slide across chapped lips. She was trying to buy both time -- And an ally. If this one could be reformed, Ashe could save her. After all, that was what she trying to do. She had united the Freljord, surely she could do this.

{❄️} This was real. Ashe was absolutely serious about surrendering herself to Lissandra to save her people. The Dark Ice had brought her to this, out of nowhere. A woman willing to do whatever it took, even to sacrifice herself, to save her people. Lissandra faintly recalled, when she was a young girl, wanting to be a person just like this. Before she sought power.

Lissandra hesitated, then reached down, quietly pulling the archer to her feet.

“Leave us.” She said quietly, and immediately the room was empty save the two of them. The queen of ice reached up, removing her helmet, letting snow white hair fall down, shaking her head and revealing similarly colored, large ears.

“Ashe, I’ll help you. But you need to know, first of all, the Dark Ice was not my doing, at least not that strain. The Watchers created the Dark Ice as a weapon to subdue their enemies, but they made it curable. They had no intention to kill their servants down to the last man. Since they are no longer here, it spreads unchecked. I know how to cure it, and I will, as a show of kindness to you.”

—≪♔≫”Thank you…”

It had been years since she had seen Lissandra without the helmet. She was beautiful and unusual.

“Just tell me what I need to do.”

She wiped her tears away, standing straight once more. Even if there was a hidden plan somewhere in here… Ashe would withstand it as long as her people were safe.

planswithinplans-blog1

{❄️} “It’s more of what I need to do.” The Frost Queen replied grimly, bracing herself for the refusal. “First of all, you have to take me to your people and give me full permission to do what I must. The method for curing Dark Ice is … unpleasant, but reliable. The second thing … isn’t entirely up to you.”

Oh, Ashe was going to hate this, but it would expedite the process tenfold.

“I need to borrow Averosa’s bow during the process.”

frozenvaliancy-blog

—≪♔≫ “ Borrow the bow? “

She felt her own blood chill. She hadn’t let it out of her hands since she had been chosen. It was always close to her person, almost as an extension of herself. She took in a breath, held it a moment, before letting it out.

Lissandra was speaking the truth and Ashe could sense no hostility in them.

“ You will have it when we reach the city. Then, and only then, will you have it for the duration of it. “

>>❄️>> “Ah, that sounds like quite the delight. Perhaps you could take me for a ride at some point? I’ve seen little of the Freljord, but what I have is a beauty to the eye. It’s hard to believe that war made its way to your land, but I suppose the beauty of the snow also covers the horror of it all.”

Her smile faded at that reminder of mankind’s ugliness, and she looked at Ashe sadly.

“Forgive me, I didn’t mean to bring up such tragedy. This is supposed to be a visit between queens, something peaceful to not think of such pressure that must be on your shoulders.”

—≪♔≫”It’s alright, don’t fret over it. Even if it is supposed to be something peaceful, it’s blind to try to hide from the truth of it all. I would be delighted to take you for a ride.”

Once they entered the stable, she went to her horse, who whinnied upon seeing the queen.

“Now, now, behave. We have a guest here.”

She teased, as she pet the cold muzzle.

>>❄️>> “Ah …”

One entranced step forward later, Luxanna found herself staring in awe at the magnificent steed in front of her. She could feel the element of ice encased in the creature’s very soul, not imprisoned, but content. She was shocked, to say the least, to see one of the most rigid elements in such a free-spirited form.

“He’s a wonder.” She finally said, a smile overtaking her face.

frozenvaliancy-blog

—≪♔≫ “ Isn’t she though? Come now, Snowflight, let our guest greet you properly. “

She opened the gate, allowing the horse to come out. Once out, the mare bowed her head to Luxanna, obviously keen to the magic flowing through the other.

“ I think she will allow you to ride her. “
