The Icebreaker
"If you push that fragment any deeper into your chest, Ethan, you are not going to survive long enough for the empire to execute us!" Evelyn screamed, her fingers digging desperately into the fabric of his coat as his skin flared with a blinding, violent violet light."I am not planning on dying today, Evelyn, so you can stop worrying about arranging another funeral for me," Ethan gasped, his voice breaking as a wave of searing, white-hot agony tore through his chest and radiated outward along both arms."You say that like survival is a choice, Ethan, but your entire body is rejecting the core's frequency!" Garrick yelled, throwing his full weight against a heavy timber to keep the loaded sled from sliding backward as the frozen ground beneath them began to heave, tremble, and buckle."He does not have a choice, Garrick. Look at the bay!" Thorne shouted, pointing a shaking finger toward the churning water, where the massive black hulls of the imp
Cliffside Clash
"If you slip on this ice and fall today, Ethan, I am not jumping down after you to explain your corpse to Evelyn," Garrick whispered, his boots sliding half an inch on the treacherous blue slope as he clutched the hilt of his iron dagger with white-knuckled intensity."You would miss me too much, Garrick, and besides, I have no intention of dying on a frozen rock today," Ethan replied, his breath pluming out in a thick white cloud as he pressed his back against the jagged stone wall of the cliff."You always have a smart word ready for every single suicide mission, do you not?" Garrick muttered, shaking his head with a tense, breathless laugh that quickly faded as he looked down at the three imperial scouts patrolling the narrow path fifty feet below them. "I have to admit something, Ethan. Back at the shrine, when you took that soul-chain extraction, I thought you were just another reckless kid with a death wish. But watching you lead us through this fro
Shipbuilding in Secret
"If we do not strip every last bolt from these frozen skeletons by nightfall, the empire will not even need to execute us because the cold will do it for them."Evelyn slammed her hammer against a thick iron rivet of the ancient hull, the metallic clang echoing sharply across the desolate coastal shelf."You have been saying that for three hours, Evelyn, and my arms are already ready to fall off," Garrick panted, wiping sweat and ice shavings from his forehead with the back of a gloved hand."Then your arms can fall off after we have enough metal to reinforce the runners," she snapped back without missing a beat, her eyes flashing with a fierce, commanding authority that left zero room for argument. "Thorne said the ironclads entered the gulf an hour ago. We do not have the luxury of being tired.""She is right," Ethan said, stepping out from the belly of the wrecked vessel with a heavy oak beam balanced across his shoulder. His breath p
The Ice Sanctuary
"If we do not find a way to light this tomb within the next five minutes, we are all going to turn into living statues."Marcus dropped his heavy pack onto the slick, frozen stone of the cavern floor, his teeth clicking together with a loud, rhythmic violence as he rubbed his blue-tinged hands frantically."Stop complaining and help clear the entrance so the frost beasts can get back out," Evelyn snapped back, though her own shoulders were hunched tight against the piercing chill that radiated from the ice walls."They are not trying to get out, Evelyn, they are standing guard," Ethan said, his voice low and raspy as he watched the massive alpha frost-beast settle itself across the narrow mouth of the cave, blocking out the howling fury of the blizzard outside."Guard or warden, it does not matter if we freeze to death in the dark," Thorne muttered, dropping to his knees and striking a heavy iron flint against a dry scrap of cloth. The s
Alpha of the Tundra
"If you step past me right now, Ethan, you will not survive the next ten seconds!" Evelyn screamed, her fingers digging desperately into his arm as the giant alpha beast broke through the blinding veil of snow."I am not planning on dying today, Evelyn, so you can stop worrying about my funeral arrangements," Ethan replied, his voice strained as he shook off her grip and stepped out into the freezing open space of the valley."You are bleeding out from the cold and your chest is still raw from that soul-chain, Ethan, you cannot fight a mountain of fur and ice bare-handed!" Thorne shouted, raising his rifle with a shaking hand, his eyes wide with stark panic."Lower the gun, Thorne," Ethan commanded without turning around, his eyes locked entirely on the towering monstrosity standing ten paces away. "If you shoot, you only make it angry. And an angry alpha will take everyone out before we even blink."The alpha beast was a nightmare sculp
The Hunt in the White
"If you think for one second I am letting you walk into this blizzard alone to die in the snow, Ethan, you do not know me at all."Evelyn slammed her boot down into the hard-packed ice, her face drawn tight with a fierce, unbreakable resolve that cut right through the howling gale of the northern storm."I am not trying to get myself killed, Evelyn, I am trying to bring him back before the cold finishes what the beast started," Ethan replied, his breath pluming out in ragged, white clouds as he pulled the heavy leather strap of his sword belt tighter across his chest."You cannot even see your own hand in front of your face out there," Garrick shouted over the roar of the wind, stepping up to block the path leading out of the camp perimeter. "That storm is a whiteout. You take ten steps past the ridge and you are gone forever.""If we stay here and wait, we are just cowards letting a kid get torn apart in the dark," Ethan shot back, his
