—≪💎≫”Sounds fair. We’ll consider it an ‘I owe you.’ for now.”

    She stood to her feet, offering a piece of meat to the boar. Might as well get on his good side too. Chances were, she might just have to travel on the back of him… No point in making someone your enemy you had to ride upon for miles.

 A few sniffs came before the boar took the meat and started messily chomping down on it. This brought amusement to Sejuani.

 “That’s the only way into this big hunk of fur’s heart. He hates everyone until they give him food.” She jested while Bristle finished the meat. “He even eats boar, how’s that for some irony?”

thievingmistress:

—≪💎≫ “As a matter of fact, yes one of the locations is in your territory. I will accept your help. However, you can probably guess I’m not going to take it just for free… It’s business after all. What would you like in exchange?”

      Surely her reputation was enough of one that even out here, most of people would know how she worked. She’d fight for a cause, but not die for it. In Sivir’s world, no service came for free. Even if something was offered to her as such, she would wish to not owe for anything.

Something in exchange huh? No surprise there. Sivir’s reputation preceded her. Jobs for the right price, but nothing so foolish as a suicide mission. Sejuani had to stop and think on it for the moment. She’d never really thought of anything for this sort of situation.

 “I’ll help you personally.” Sejuani stated. “As for my price, I’ll have to get back to you on that. I’d never thought of it until you asked. I assure you that the treasure is all your’s for the taking. It’ll only weigh me down.” She continued.

 It was the best she had. She needed time to think of something that’d be of equal value to herself personally.

 “The challenge of it makes it all the better.” Sejuani assured. “Even if I only know of your tale in bits and pieces thanks to a trader I’ve heard enough to show you a side of me unseen by others.”

 Despite her aggressive and at times brutish nature Sejuani had a heart of gold deep down. Something seen most by her beloved boar Bristle. She was showing that softness she had froze over to Syndra now, and she’d always share that side with her. Her stubborn mind had decided that during her journey here.

—≪❄️≫ “Thank you…”

     She whispered, nuzzling close to Sejuani. She was uncertain, that was for sure, but she seemed like a pleasant person enough. Even if she was strange… Which couldn’t be held to as much given Syndra was strange in her own way.

 “Any kind of affection and attention you want will be given.” She promised. “Never hesitate to ask. Even Bristle can shower you with love if you ask him to. Just be careful, he had a bad tendency of knocking people over and rubbing his face against them.”

 It seemed she’d gotten through a little. In time perhaps Sejuani would get to see Synda smile, but for now at least the snow sovereign wasn’t terrified of her anymore.

—≪♔≫”Thank you, for giving me a chance. I trust you’ll approve.”

     She turned to a guard.

     “Go. Tell him to come in.”

      The guard quickly turned, moving to open the door. A man entered in. Ashe nodded to him, motioning him forward.

      “Please be swift, but thorough.”

“Certainly.” Alternis replied.

 Sejuani was a bit skeptical of the knight. His colors were like those of Noxus when it came to his armor. Ashe trusted him which gave Alternis some merit in Sejuani’s eyes, but not much. Her interests were admittedly low when it came to his abilities as she didn’t understand what it was he was about to do.

 Alternis laid a shard of dark ice on the table for them to view. She could tell it was the genuine thing, not some fake for a deceitful performance which would capture their attention. He took up the shard in his gauntlet and clasped his hand around it. The knight concentrated as the ice hissed. With what sounded like water splashing he opened his hand to reveal a piece of purified true ice.

 Sejuani’s eyes went wide and she hastily snatched it up, inspecting it from every angle. He had done it. He’d purified tainted true ice. Not only that but he’d done it by his own hand  more or less. She looked at Alternis, then to the ice and then to Ashe before her gaze once more went to the ice. Slowly she set it upon the table before once more looking to Ashe.

 “You’ve my undivided attention. For a change.” Sejuani commented. That display was why Ashe was so hopeful in this plan. It took some of Freljord’s greatest shamans just to keep the spread at bay and they were drained. He didn’t even seem to be tired. “I’ll properly listen this time.”

 Ashe seemed more resourceful than she’d originally been pegged to be.

—≪❄️≫ “You came out here all this way to do that for me? Even though you don’t know me? That’s amazing…”

     What kind of person was she? What kind of heart did she possess? She was an amazing oddity in Syndra’s life at the moment.

     “You should know this won’t be easy… I’m still afraid. I trust you, but fear is present.”

 “The challenge of it makes it all the better.” Sejuani assured. “Even if I only know of your tale in bits and pieces thanks to a trader I’ve heard enough to show you a side of me unseen by others.”

 Despite her aggressive and at times brutish nature Sejuani had a heart of gold deep down. Something seen most by her beloved boar Bristle.

—≪❄️≫”I am the Ice Sovereign Syndra. You may call me Syndra. Please forgive  me for being worrisome. I can’t help it. I was… I was raped the last time I opened my door to strangers. Needless to say, I’m extremely wary of those who enter my home now… I’ve felt it better to seal myself away instead of worry of going through that hell again.”

     She continued to stay against her, taking comfort in the hug. At least it seemed like there was something stable in her life at the moment. Even if it was just for this second, it was more than she thought she’d ever happen again.

 “You can relax with me. Nothing will be forced upon you.” Sejuani whispered.

 She hugged Syndra closer. Poor woman. No one deserved that kind of treatment. Sure she makes her comments about subduing her and asserting that sort of dominance, but that’s a consenting statement. To have such things happen in your home and without consent? It was truly a terrible occurrence.

 “I’ve decided I’ll help you.” She promised. “I’ll show you what it’s like for someone to love and care for you. To show you what it means to be treated right and well.”

—≪♔≫ “I am actually seeking a truce… But under other means this time. How would you react to the fact of me telling you… I have discovered someone that can purify Dark Ice. They are willing to demonstrate their ability to you as well. I vote… We put aside our differences and with this new power… We overthrow Lissandra. We can continue our dispute after. I feel this is more of a threat to both of us.”

     Ashe had heard the reports… That Dark Ice had started showing it’s roots in the Winter’s Claw. If let go, all would fall to the blight of this cursed ice. Surely the sister spirit in Sejuani would deem this needed.

 “You would lead me to believe that you have found a person with the key to saving all of Freljord from the last remaining grips the Watchers had when our ancestors overthrew them?” She hissed in disbelief. “What kind of fool do you take me for? There is no such person other than Anivia and...”

 And you. She thought. The idea burned in her mind at the fact that if Ashe grew powerful enough she could possibly manipulate and maybe even pacify true ice on a country wide scale. It scared her.

 With a heavy sigh Sejuani quickly stood up and stomped for the door. As her hand came in contact the doorknob her mind went to her tribe. For so long now she thought of the idea of a united Freljord would be one hardened by the cold to withstand anything. Yet the Dark Ice had been encroaching upon the Winter’s Claw territory. That sort of corruption, that sort of poison. It wasn’t a fair fight for her people. It was a losing battle in its entirety. Her had now slowly slid off the doorknob and she found herself once more sitting across from Ashe.

“We take this step by step.” Sejuani demanded as she stared the Avarosan leader down. “First I want that display, I need to see the proof of this.” Her demand was resolute, she wouldn’t budge on that. “If it’s true, and that’s if, then we can sit down and speak on this more. Normally I’d cast your truce to the wolves like I have every other time, but I have my reasons to listen to you this one time.”

“Are you cold?” Sejuani asked. “I’ve a tent nearby if you wish to warm yourself.”

thievingmistress:

—≪💎≫”Don’t worry. I’ve studied the location. There are no religious lore or anything of such surrounding this one. Apparently someone foolish enough from Bilgewater tried to hide something here. I’m here to take it back.”

      She offered the wine skin to the other. As much as she’d rather hold onto the priceless substance, sometimes making allies was worth more.

“I see.” She commented while taking the wine skin offered to her.

 She took a gulp from it before capping it and returning it to Sivir. Thirst had been nagging at her for a little bit now so that hit the spot.

 “Thank you. The Winter’s Claw know our way about the frozen peaks. We’ve lived in them all our lives. If it’s in our territory we can aid in your search.”

[permafrcstqueen-blog]

thievingmistress:

—≪💎≫”I’m sure you have a few guesses, Winter’s Claw.”

     She looked up from where she sat, arm wiping away the excess water on her lips, then capped her water skin.

      “I’ve heard there’s a large deposit of gold and goods somewhere up in these frigid mountains. Normally while I work in desert circumstances… Things have gotten a little too heated in the desert for my liking.”

“Things have gotten heated here too.” Sejuani answered back. “The civil war is escalating. It won’t be long before our minor skirmishes are full marches of war.”

 She now dismounted from bristle and stood before Sivir.

 “The Freljord’s blizzards are unforgiving. Be mindful of what you take from these mountains, gold does our people little good so we don’t touch the gifts of our mountains.” She realized she had to correct herself. “Well, some of us don’t.”

{❄️} “Why? I can’t visit a fellow leader at my own free will, is that it?” Lissandra pretended to pout, her lips pursed together. “But if you insist on being that way, I’ll bring my request to your attention once more. Join me, Sejuani. An alliance to bring the Freljord to its knees.”

She ran her cold hand across Sejuani’s chin, caressing it calmly. “Why would you not consider this partnership, strong one?”

 “I don’t consider it because I don’t trust you.” Sejuani growled. “I do not campaign to bring Freljord to its knees I fight to unite the Freljord into the a powerful nation to be feared.”

 Much like Sejuani already was, Bristle who stood behind her was getting agitated. His instincts had him on edge, but it wasn’t until Sejuani got more annoyed that he began to act up.

 “I appreciate your help in my finding supplies around Bilgewater.”  Sejuani thanked. “Now about payment. Who do you want Bristle and I to trample?”

[permafrcstqueen-blog]

@thievingmistress

 “Not often I see a woman like you around, what brings you to the Freljord?”

{❄️} “Aren’t you a delight to the eyes, little savage. I remember a time when warriors riding into battle on boarback was more commonplace. Ah, the stories I could spin …”

 “What are you after in coming before me like this?” Sejuani barked. “Surely you aren’t here to surrender your Frostguard, land and stronghold to me.”

 Sejuani definitely wasn’t in the mood for this. The last time they met like this the other woman had randomly tried to kiss her just to make her jump out of her skin and get a rise out of her. Today she had to put two of her own men in their places for arguing with her and now there was this.

darkscvereign:

—≪❄️≫”What the hell–!?”

     Came the screamed response. Before she could even think about hiding away into the ice, Sejuani had her, pulling her close. A hug? When was the last time someone had given her one…

     “I… Alright… I’ll trust you.”

     Her response was quiet, as she hid her face into the other’s chest, hot tears spilling down her cheeks.

 “I’m sorry for being rough. I needed you to understand my intentions clearly.” Sejuani apologized. 

 She felt a little guilty, but as her tears flowed the chief only pulled her into a stronger embrace.

 “What is your name? You refused to answer before.”

[permafrcstqueen-blog]

darkscvereign:

—≪❄️≫ “I have been told before no harm would come to me. Because of those statements I am now what I am… A woman of solitude.”

     She turned the ice into a heart, which proceeded to shatter in her hand, pieces dropping to the cold floor only to turn into more fragments. How quaint…

Sejuani remained quiet for now. Something had happened to her, something terrible. The story was clearly missing pieces and now she wanted to know more. If she had been hurt so terribly now was the time to show her proper care. Even if it’d be a little rough at first.

 The quiet was soon ruined by the sound of a whistle and the trampling of a boar before it came crashing through the doors. Sejuani then walked through and pat him on the head, garnering positive reception. Her eyes scanned the room before settling on Syndra.

 She made her way over to the cowering woman where she then knelt down. Gently she pulled her into an embrace and hugged her close, a hand gently stroking her head.

 “You are safe with me. I swear it on my pride.” Sejuani whispered.

[permafrcstqueen-blog]

darkscvereign:

—≪❄️≫”You are welcome. I still think you are foolish. Once the blizzard is past, I will cast spells on you and your companion to see your journey home safely.”

       She sat curled up in the furthest point away from the door. She didn’t ask for company… Especially as reckless as this one. What had happened the last time such recklessness had been displayed? She shivered a little, pulling the blanket around her, though coldness was the least of her worries. To try to occupy herself, she summoning a small ball of ice to shape into various figures, working away her anxiety.

“I came here seeking you.” Sejuani declared. “Is the story true? Have you been left in isolation here all this time if it is?” She asked. “You can come out of this room, I won’t hurt you. I just want a better look at the woman who so kindly kept me warm.”

 There was more to it than Sejuani was saying. Her mind was made up on a lot of things and the one thing they had in common was the fact that she was not leaving. She’d have Bristle crash through the door to let her in if she had to.
