In the far northern reaches of Equis lies an area simply known as, The Tundra. A place of eternal winter, ruled by the feral creatures of the land, and feared for the magical beings made from ice and snow. Not even the great princesses of Equestria dare enter this land for fear of the unknown. However to me, this place is my home. My name is Von and I’m… a wolf.

That’s right, I’m a wolf. You might wonder why a wolf is capable of thought, and to be honest, I don’t know myself. It was about a week ago now, at least I think so. Anyway, I suddenly realized I could hear myself think. It’s a weird feeling to be conscious of one’s own thought, especially after not being able to for so long. I’m an omega, or lone wolf as it would be called. I’ve always been on my own, here in this frozen waste, but it didn’t hurt until now. There is now a pain in my chest, a thirst for companionship, why is that? Why now? After so long, could I think, perceive my own thought. It doesn’t make any sense, what caused it?

Well there was that giant snowstorm… and that ethereal howling… and the way it disappeared in an instance… Yeah thinking back on it that probably had something to do with it.

The last thing I remember was being slammed into by something, the burning touch true cold, and then darkness. When I woke up I didn’t realize I could hear my own thoughts, it wasn’t until I went to take a drink of water at one of the nearby arctic streams and I was admiring my reflection that I heard it. I jumped ten feet in the air I swear. It took me a few hours of calling out until I realized… I was the one calling. Let just say I was surprised. I’ve been spending the past week debating with myself what happened, the first time I went hunting since my new conscience was… strange to say the least. I found a weak caribou that had gotten separated from its herd, it was barely alive… and I hesitated. Wolves don’t hesitate! I waited until it finally collapsed from exhaustion, calmly walked up to it, and ripped its throat out. I could barely believe myself, yeah it was easier, but it felt more like a mercy than a victory. Still, food is food, and for an omega like me, that is something that I cannot afford to overlook. For the past few days, I’ve just stayed in my cave and kept to myself.

*CRASH*

'The hell was that!?’ I thought as I ran out to observe the commotion. But upon exiting I wish I hadn’t. Outside a massive snow twister had suddenly appeared, tearing through the forest south of my cave. As I turned to duck back inside I saw a black blur exit the twister at amazing speed and crash not twenty yards from me. I looked back at the twister and heard something familiar, but terrifying. A roar split my ears and cut through the snow twister, and as suddenly as it had appeared it dissipated back into common snow and ice. Hesitating for a moment, and against my newfound better judgement, I slowly made my way over to the crash site of the black blur I had seen. I looked into the massive crater to find a creature.

Now this creature was like none I had seen, it was covered in silver metal from head to toe, seemingly bipedal in nature, and surrounded by a gradually increasing circle of red snow. I crawled into the crater, slowly moving towards the metal monster. As I did I saw a small puff of vapor escape in small intervals, it was still breathing. I moved closer, but froze when I lock eyes with this creature, I could see a small amount of skin, pale as the snow, surrounding a pair of piercing blue eyes. A metal arm moved, causing me to jump back, it slowly reached for his own head, and to my own very much surprise it removed its head! Or as I soon saw, a metal shell covering its head. I once again locked eyes with the creature, now I could see a head with short silver hair, and bare, pale skin with the only color being the streak of blood coming from the crown of its head. It, smiled at me, I cocked my head in confusion as I continued to stare. How could it smile at me? It was dying! If it wasn’t obvious by the bleeding, the massive craters in the creature’s, now presumed to be armor, were a dead giveaway. And yet it still smiled at me, for all it knew I was a predator about to end its misery, was that why it was happy? Did it want to die? No, nothing wants to die.

“Why are you just standing there fella? Lost in thought?”

I jumped, I looked to see the creature was the one who spoke.

“Why… are… you here?” I said shakily. I had figured out I could speak in the same voice I thought in, though it wasn’t as natural.

The creature’s eyes widened in shock before returning to normal and replying, “This looks like as good a place as any to die. Though in my time in this world, I’ve never seen a wolf, especially one that could spea-.” He was cut off as he began to cough, a small amount of blood sprayed as his coughing settled.

“You… alright?” I asked, moving slightly closer.

“Haha, no. No I don’t think I’ll be alright. Some guardian I turned out to be.” He answered before coughing up some more blood. “My time is short.”

“I… help?” I asked, filled with unknown concern.

Something changed in the creature as it looked at me, analyzing me. After a few moments he spoke, “Yes, I think you’ll do nicely.” He said as he raised his hand, beckoning me closer.

I hesitate, but decided to do as he asked. I walked closer until I stood over him.

He looked directly into my eyes before saying, “I’m sorry.”

It wasn't until then that I noticed a long piece of metal in his hand. With a flick of his wrist the bladed segmented and moved on its own and I felt a burning in my chest. I looked down to see the tip stabbing my chest before I howled in pain. He twisted his wrist again, causing the sword to resume its original shape. He then went into another coughing fit and coughing up a much larger amount of blood this time.

“Damn it, that did it. *Cough* I’m sorry my furry friend. I promise all will be explained.” He said weakly.

I looked at him with feelings of confusion, pain, anger, and sorrow all racing through my mind at once. Trying to understand why I had ever decided to listen. I collapsed in the crater as my world slowly faded to black.

I opened my eyes to find myself in a massive expanse of white nothingness. I try to stand, only to be stopped by a burning pain in my chest. I look down to see a silver symbol, which seemed to give off a soft glow, but that was impossible. However, so is a massive expanse of nothing, so does that mean I’m dead?

“You’re not dead.”

I spun around to find the creature I met in the forest, standing without a care. He was completely healed of his wounds, he wasn’t wearing his armor any longer. Instead, he wore a black shirt and pants, and on his shirt was the same symbol as on my chest.

“Who… are you? What did… you do to me?” I demanded, baring my fangs.

“Whoa easy there. Put the fangs away, pup.” He said, pointing a disciplining finger at me. I comply, but only to the point my fangs aren’t showing. “Better. Now as for your questions be patient and I will explain all I can.” He said, with a snap of his fingers two chairs appear facing each other, he sat in one while gesturing to the other. I understood and wearily hop into the seat and face the creature.

“Let me start off with your first questions.” The creature began. “My name is Blake Steelsoul of the Guardians of Equis, and I’m a human.” I look at him in confusion, he catches my look and continues. “Ah, so you are unfamiliar with us. This might take some time.”

“I know… very little… still new to… talking.” I explained, the human eyes widen slightly before answering.

“So, you mean you aren’t part of the higher races of Equis?” I look at him in confusion. “Well that explains why I didn’t remember a race of talking wolves, though wolves are rare as it is. As it stands, it looks like you haven’t been this way long.”

“A week.” I confirmed.

“Really? Then I must say I’m impressed, receiving a gift of metacognition is crippling for most races who are not already on the verge of it by their own evolution.” The man replies, deep in thought.

“Meta…cognition?” I asked.

“Hmm, yes that’s right. It means to have awareness of one’s own intelligent thought. It is a major factor in being considered a higher race, as well as being able to converse with other higher beings. As it stands you are probably the only one of your kind that has achieved this. Otherwise I’m sure someone would have found out. Anyway, that is not important right now. What you need to know is all this.” He said with a wave of his finger a glowing ball appeared, just floating in midair. “Here is all the knowledge that you need to know on humans and the other higher races.” It floated over and as soon as it touched my chest I cry out in pain at the influx of knowledge as the orb interred my chest.

After the pain dimmed and I could think again I look up and growled. “The hell you jerk!? That hurt like hell!” I say with no hesitation.

“It looks like it worked. You’re speaking in full sentences now.” He says with a smirk, I open my mouth before shutting it and just grumble. “Good, now back to the matter at hand. As I said before I am a member of the Guardians of Equis, do you know who they are now?”

“A group of representatives from each higher race that act like the United Nations on Earth. A council that deals with the major conflicts between races, along with being considered the most masterful warrior of their respective races.” I answer.

“And where is Earth?”

“The home world of humans. It resides in a different dimension, you are part of the humans that remained on Equis after 'The Collapse' caused the portals of the 'Portal Event' to close. It was discovered that some humans have an innate ability for magic and can tap into it because of the massive amount of natural magic contain on Equis.” I finish, as I do I realized all of what I said and the knowledge that has been imparted to me.

“Good, it looks like the spell worked properly. With that I will give you my final leave.” Blake said rising from his chair. I hopped off mine looking at him in confusion.

“What do you mean? Why is this the last time I will see you?”

He looked at me and gave me a smile. “That is because, I’m dead. I died just before you lost consciousness. This form is just a small piece of my essence that I used in the spell to imparted my knowledge to you. So I could teach you what you’d need to know, and pass on the crest.” He says pointing at the symbol on my chest. “Which reminds me, do you know what that symbol means?”

“It’s the crest of the Guardians, the only ones who bare this mark are the representatives of the races.” I reply, I pause a second before realizing the weight of my own words.

Blake just smiles. “Correct, I’m sorry to do this to you. I had no choice, but I am glad, you seem to be a good choice.” The world around us starts to dissolve as Blake turned and started to walk away.

“What? What is that supposed to mean!?” I call out after him.

“You will know in time.” Blake says looking over his shoulder. “By the way, I never asked your name, do you have one?”

“Von.” I replied.

“You got a last name to that?” I shook my head. “Use mine then for now, I’d be honored.” I simply nod, not sure what else to do. “Well then, this is farewell Von Steelsoul. I hope you can forgive me for the burden I was forced to place on you.” Blake said, as he turned around a large piece of the current reality came crashing down between me and Blake, as it shattered on the ground and dissipate, Blake disappeared.

“I will bring your name honor, you have my word.” I said before I looking up and get crushed by a piece of falling reality.

I awoke with a start. Shivering profusely I looked around to find myself still in the crater where I thought I died. I looked to where Blake died, but the only thing that remained was the large circle of red where his body once lied. I looked around and noticed something unusual, I was taller. I looked down but it took a second for it to click. I had turned into a human!

Panicking I climbed out of the crater and ran around until I found a spot of ice large enough that I could see my reflection. I saw I looked similar to Blake, I was a little younger, according to the information in my head this body was only aged twenty years. I stood around 5’ 10”. My hair was silver like Blake’s, but it went down to my shoulder blades. My skin had the same pale complexion Blake’s had. My muscle was toned but solid, though I still had a great amount of flexibility. I had on the same black shirt and pants Blake did while in the reality zone, though they did very little considering the below zero temperatures I was in. The most interesting thing was my eyes, my right eye was blue like Blake’s, while my left eye was silver. As the wind began to pick up, I started back towards my den to shield myself from the wind and cold as I noticed the sun was beginning to set.

Could have left me with some better clothes, jerk. I thought to myself before a piece of information popped into my head. I can build a fire! Maybe this knowledge might be useful after all. I took a quick look around and grabbed an armload of dry sticks as I returned to my den. I rubbed two of the thinner ones together as fast as I could until I they started to smoke. I quickly built the fire up and relaxed into the warmth.

Ahh, this is nice. Those humans have things figured out. A memory flicked across my mind. Well except for all those wars. The wind began to howl as the night grew later up outside my den. I should probably travel south tomorrow, this body isn’t built to handle the Tundra’s cold. I settle down and slowly drift off to sleep, as the wind continued to howl.

My eyes slowly blinked open as the sun blinded me. Uh, damn burning light. Celestia, what did I do to deserve this? Well, besides discovering a dying guardian, who in turn passed on his mantle to me turning me into a human, and now I have to find my way back to Equestria so I can fulfill that calling… You know what, never mind. I just seem to answer my own questions anyway.
I stood, causing a few pops to escape my bones. Ahh, at least I appear to know how to use this body. I think to myself as I step outside my den, only to meet a chilling wind. Bur, it’s so cold.

The Cold Won’t Hurt You.

The hell!? I panic. I spin around, looking frantically. The voice was small, but dark, as if each word could freeze the soul. My eyes scanned my surrounding to no avail. As I continue to calm down I realize, the voice was right. It was still cold, but from the knowledge Blake gave me humans can’t normally survive the icy weather of the Tundra for long. Blake could because he was using magic, but from what I could tell, I wasn’t. However no matter how cold it was, the cold didn’t seem to hurt, it was just… there. Now that’s curious, in any case it’s a good thing for me. This means I shouldn’t have to worry about freezing to death. Though even with that being the case I should still head south. Onwards!

I walked for hours as I wandered the woods, slowly making my way towards the borderlands of the Tundra. I stopped occasionally when I found an artic stream for a drink, but besides that I continued walking. After a few hours I stopped to observe my surroundings. While the tundra was severe to live in, by no means did that mean it was devoid of life. However, that’s what my surrounding were… silent. Not even the wind seemed to stir around me. I looked around only to find more nothing, a feeling of unease began to steadily grow as I continued walking, until I finally heard a voice.

“Come~”

“Who said that!?” I call out. The voice was different than the one I had hear earlier. This one had the same chill to it, but it was more airy, ethereal. The air began blow, tugging at my clothes.

“Come~”

“Where are you!?” I shout, the feeling of unease becoming one of fear. The wind increased until I was struggling to keep my footing.

“COME~!”

That did it, the wind blew me over, but it didn’t stop there. I continued to tumble through the snow, each time I tried to stand I would quickly get blown over again. It felt like the wind was taking me somewhere. Eventually the wind died, and I was left cold and shaking in the snow. As feeling came back to my limbs I picked myself off the ground. I looked around to see I was in a clearing, but I wasn’t alone. In the center of the clearing rose a spire of ice, but the interesting part was what was inside. I could see a light-bluish gray anthropomorphic equine with a short mane of white and pale blue which ended in a soft curl, along with a tail of the same color and shape. She was frozen while curled into a small ball, two wings encircling her like a blanket.

From the knowledge I had received from Blake she was a pegasus pony. One of the three original higher races that appeared on Equis, the others being terrans and unicorns. They are currently ruled by four Princesses that are of a race called Alicorns. A combination of the three races into one, alicorns have the strength of terrans, horns that wield powerful magic like unicorns, and wings like pegasi. The four princesses are Celestia, controller of the sun and elder sister to the second princess, Luna, who controls the moon. Third is Mi Amore Cadenza, or Cadence as she like to be known according to Blake’s memories, princess of love and co-ruler of the Crystal Empire with her husband Prince Shining Armor. Finally is Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle. The newest to the title of princess she apparently earn the title after she was transformed into an alicorn after she completing an ancient spell of great power. Though that was over twenty years ago.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. As I looked in awe at this frozen pony I could feel something was off. I racked my brain, struggling to figure out what was causing this uneasy feeling. Then, as I closed my eyes it hit me. Though my eyes were closed, I could still see a small light. It didn’t take long to understand what I was seeing, this light… was her soul! My eyes snapped open as the realization hit me, she was still alive! I slowly approached, the feeling of unease still constantly growing. I found myself standing only a foot away from this spire that was this pony’s frozen prison, every instinct in my body was screaming at me to run, to move as fast and as far as I could carry myself away from here, but I continued to just stand there. Until I heard the voice, the one from my den.

Touch It.

The voice made my body tremble, I wanted to run, but some force seemed to hold me to the ground where I stood. I felt my hand slowly rise, it came up to eye level, only inches away from the spires surface. *Gulp* Here goes nothing. I think to myself. I slam my hand into the spire, but as soon as my flesh touched the freezing ice, a shockwave released from the spire shattering it and sending me flying backwards. While in the air I twist around, performing a flip, and managed to land on my feet around ten feet back from where I was formerly standing. I looked up to see the pony, freed from her prison, hovering above the shattered remains of the spire. Her eyes opened to reveal two pale, light blue pupil-less eyes, indicating she was blind. She was around 5’ 7”, wearing a burlap cloak around her shoulders and under it was a simple white dress with a light blue trim that matched her hair. She had a slim hourglass figure, and on her head was a diadem with an amulet in the center. The amulet depicted an alicorn, it was blue and white and the eyes on the alicorn looked to be peacefully closed. There was a gem in the center that was a sapphire hexagon, the gem gave off a soft glow much like the symbol emblazoned on my chest.

I stared in awe at the beauty of this mare. Though I didn’t get long to appreciate it as I felt a rumble underneath my feet. I dove to the side as an ice spire burst from the ground in an attempt to impale me. I looked back to see the mare with a hand raised in the direction of the ice spire, again I felt a small rumble as her hand moved towards my direction. I dove away again, narrowly avoiding another spire of ice. It appeared as though this mare was the cause, though I couldn’t figure out how. First off she was blind so there’s that, but also pegasi didn’t have any form of physical magic like unicorns, so there should be no way to do what she was doing, unless… the amulet! I stood up as I looked at her, determined to remove the source of her power. I charged at her before another rumble came, and I leapt back to avoid a spire appearing just in front of me. I ran to the side in an attempt to flank her, only to avoid another spire.

“You impress me.” I froze. I looked up to see the mare, her blank eyes locking with mine as I do. “Tell me wolf, how can you predict where my attacks would come from?” She asked me in a soft, soothing voice.

“Well if you think I’m a wolf how do you think I’d be able to answer?” I replied, her eyes widening in shock at my words.

“You can speak!? How is this possible? Wolves aren’t among the higher races as far as I know.”

“Why do you think I’m a wolf? Are you not blind?” I asked.

She gave a face of aggravation before answering, “It is true my eyes cannot see, but that doesn’t make me blind. I can see the souls of creatures, and from that I know what they are.” She explained. “And if you aren’t a wolf, then what, pray tell, are you?”

“Ahh, so that’s why. It is true I was formerly a wolf, until yesterday in fact. However due to the magic of a Guardian I am now in the form of a human.” I explained to her.

“Human? What is that? I have never heard of that race before? And what is a Guardian?"

I hummed in thought, “I supposed the best way to explain would be is that a Guardian is a champion of a higher race. The human died not far from my former home. Though before he did, he passed his mantle to me and gave me his knowledge and the form I am in now.”

“If that is the case, I apologize for attacking you. The last being I encountered wasn't the kindest and I was on edge."

"I can relate."

"May I ask a favor. If I cannot trust my soul sight I must feel in order to know what you look like. Can I touch you?” She asked, flying closer as she did.

I thought it over, seeing no harm in her request I respond as much, “You may.” She alighted on the ground next to me and reached out. I gave her my hand, as I do she begins to run her fingers across every part of my form.

“Amazing, you are similar to ponies in shape, though you lack fur and hooves, and your muzzle is much shorter than a normal pony’s.” She says before her hand brushes across my groin. “Though this does not appear to be lacking in size.” She said with a small blush, which was mirrored brighter with one of my own. “How is it that you can survive the Tundra without fur? Your clothes seem insufficient for the task.” She asks, removing her hands and placing them by her sides.

“I don’t know. From my knowledge it shouldn’t be possible, but here I am, cold but not in any pain.” I replied.

“Interesting, but now is not the time. I must return to Equestria, there is vengeance I need to exact.” She said, turning towards the south before looking back at me. “Do you wish to join me?”

“I have business there myself. I am willing to travel with you. Though I do have one more question, what is your name?”

“I am Snowdrop. What is yours?”

“I am Von, Von Steelsoul. Newest of the Guardians of Equis. It is a pleasure to meet you Snowdrop.” I say reaching out my hand. She appears to sense the movement and raises her hand to meet mine.

“A pleasure, I do hope you can forgive the assault when I first awoke.” She replied with a soft smile.

“Think nothing of it. I understand what you saw me as. Confrontation was unavoidable.” I reply with a smile of my own.

“Then let us b-“

*ROWR!!!*

A roar splits the air silencing Snowdrop. We look behind us to see a snow twister, much like the one when Blake appeared, tearing towards us. I could see a gigantic shadow inside of the twister as it grew closer. As I looked on in terror I saw a massive claw of bone rip through the twister, tearing a tree out of the ground and sending it flying towards us as the beast shrouded in the twister grew closer.

I tackled Snowdrop away from the tree's path and tumbled in the snow. Snowdrop clutched at my shirt as she shook in fear. “He found me.” She spoke, her voice barely audible over the howling wind.

I got up, gabbed Snowdrop by the waist off the ground and set her on her feet before we began to run. I pulled her along with me as we weaved through the dense forest. While running I notice rock jutting the side of a hill, and near the bottom was a hole. A cave, perfect! I dove at the opening dragging Snowdrop with me, as we entered the cave a rumble shook the ground and a mass of snow fell, sealing the entrance. Snowdrop had landed on me after I pulled us into the cave, and there we stayed, panting. Our ears straining for any indication that the beast in the twister was still searching for us. After a few minutes, the howling wind outside slowly died down and we were left in silence once again. After another few moments Snowdrop carefully got off of me. I sat up and looked at the black void around us, the only light being the soft glow from the crest underneath my shirt and the gem in Snowdrop’s diadem.

“It appears that you saved me, for that you have my thanks.” Snowdrop said, twirling a finger through her mane.

That… is adorable. “Uh, not a problem. What was that thing anyway?” I reply, regaining my composure.

“That was a Wendigo.” Snowdrop answered, her voice shaking slightly.

The word triggered a rush of information. After a moment I replied, “Really? From my knowledge those being are said to be extinct.”

“Not at all.” Snowdrop replies, shaking her head. “Wendigos are beings of spirit, immortal in nature. Do you know the story of the first hearth warming eve?”

“Vaguely, all I know is what Blake, the former Guardian, imparted to me.”

“Well allow me to explain. In ancient times, before the princesses came to power, the land was encased in a seemingly endless ice age. This ice age was brought about by three sibling spirits, the wendigo brothers Zy, Cy, and Py. Now as you might know they were defeated by ponies, ending the ice age and bringing about the first spring, however that is not the entire tale. What most don’t know is that the brothers survived, though severely weakened. They are the ones who created The Tundra.” Snowdrop explained, my eyes widening in shock as I listened. “Now a great sorcerer, known as Starswirl the Bearded, came to the Tundra in search of the Wendigo Brothers. He succeeded in finding them, but in their weakened state, try as they might, the brothers could not defeat Starswirl. As a result, Starswirl managed to capture one of the brothers and seal him into an amulet.” As she says this my eyes drift upward to look at the diadem.

“You mean…”

“Yes, this amulet, and the one in my tale, are one in the same. The gem in the center of the amulet is the prison which holds the soul of a Wendigo, the brother Py."

“Then the beast in the twister…”

“Is one of the brothers, in search of his kin… and he found me. He wishes to destroy the amulet and set free his imprisoned brother.” Snowdrop says as she begins to tremble. I move closer and wrap my arms around Snowdrop, pulling her close in an attempt to comfort her.

“There’s only one thing I don’t understand.” Snowdrop looks up at me in confusion. “You said Wendigos are spirits. If that is the case, what was that claw of bone that uprooted a tree in a single swipe?”

“That was the Wendigo. Long ago a dragon flew into the Tundra during a blizzard. It was snowbound and ultimately froze to death. The Wendigo Zy possessed the corpse and has used it to rule over the northern part of the Tundra ever since.” Snowdrop explains.

“So we’re dealing with a dracolich?” Snowdrop nods. “Well if one of the brothers is a dracolich, was the other brother making the twister?”

“No, that was solely the power of one Wendigo. If both brothers were present there would have been no chance to escape.” Snowdrop answered. "Cy was said to have taken the form of solid darkness. Though I don't know if that is just an allusion to something else. He rules the midlands of the Tundra, while Py ruled the south and was responsible for the wall of ice known as The Barrier being made."

“Well if that’s the case, how did Zy find you in the first place?”

“The spire in which you found me had an enchantment placed on it that hid me from his sight. When you released me that spell was broken and I could be found. The only reason I can think both brothers were not present, was that one was closer than the other.” Snowdrop explains, her trembling subsiding. She snuggled closer to me as the chill of the cave settled in.

“If that is so I’m glad I was around to rescue you. Though I suppose I am also the cause of this situation.”

Snowdrop looked up with pleading eyes. “Please don’t feel bad. I am grateful that you released me, it has been far too long since I’ve felt the warmth of the sun on my fur, the wind in my mane… or the touch of another.” She said as she nuzzled into my chest

She’s so warm, this is nice. “Von?” I looked down before answering. “Hmm? Yes Snowdrop?”

“Can we just stay like this? At least until I fall asleep?” She asks, letting out a yawn.

“Of course, take all the time you need.” I said, as I do I scoot back until my back was against the wall of the cave.

“Thank you Von, goodnight.” Snowdrop said, closing her eyes as her breathing leveled out.

“Goodnight Snowdrop, sleep well.” I said as I rest my head on top of hers. My arms holding her as we both drifted off to sleep.

Author's Note

Hello everyone, Lyruil here.

First off, thank you for reading the first chapter of this story. If you've looked at my profile you'll see I have another ongoing story, Spinning To A New Tune. If you haven't checked it out and you like this story, do so. It is set in the same universe around twenty years before this one, and I plan on making a prequel/sequel story to serve as a bridge to connect the two once I finish STANT.

My thoughts for this story is to be at least 200k+ words before I put a completed tag on this story. So I hope to give you plenty to look forward to.

Finally, if anyone is having a hard time visualizing the dracolich in the storm, this gives a pretty good idea of what I'm imagining.

Hope you like the story, and I'll see you next chapter.
Stay awesome everyone, Lyruil out.

Update 9/20/18: Minor edits and changes made. Now that STANT is complete this story will now have new content coming soon
