Chapter 1 - A cold Awakening

The very first thing I felt when I woke up, was the cold. An icy breeze blowing around me, making me shiver and creating white clouds from my breath. I stood up, arms clung around my body, and found a beautiful landscape made of snow and ice. Giant mountains, their tops covered in white, as far as I could see. My thoughts were still hazy from sleep, but when I finally noticed where I was, a loud scream escaped my lungs.

"How wasn't I able to feel the cold in my sleep, and who did this prank to me?" I said out loud, maybe to assure myself that at least my voice hadn't changed. Still paralyzed by shock, I wondered how I got in this snowy place anyway. But I knew that I would freeze to death if I continued just staying in the middle of an upcoming snow storm, so I started to walk in no determined direction. After the while I saw a wooden sign almost whole hidden in the deep snow, and it's strange letters seemed quite familiar to me. It was only then when I recognized that my clothes were not as they used to be, but were made of metal and cloth.

"It can't be!" A voice screamed in my head as I saw my purple armor and I finally recognized where I was - and who. I was in the Shiverpeak Mountains from Guild Wars. I didn't want to believe this, but there was no other possibility. So as I started to realize who I was, my hand touched the place above my mouth where a moustache should be, and it was. I was literally turned into my Norn character from the game of Guild Wars 2, everything fit together perfectly. The purple armor, the bluish hair, the claw like boots you could only access through the citadel of flame dungeon, I recognized it all from my character. Though I still had no clue what had happened to me, how I got here and why, I knew I had to find some shelter from the cold.

"Hey there, you seem lost! Need some help?" I turned around and saw an enormous Norn with a long brown beard, leather armor and a bow pinned on his back. The cold didn't seem to bother him as he approached me, snow covering his hair but his face still glowing warm red.

"I assume I am, yes." I replied, "Can you tell me how far I am from Hoelbrak?" He laughed and gave me a look as if I was joking. "North of it, in Snowden Drifts. Just head this direction, and you won't miss it." He pointed to the mountains where the sun was just rising, and I nodded thankfully and waved him goodbye as he proceeded his journey into the wild. I wondered why the first city that had come into my mind had been Hoelbrak, but it seemed the only logical conclusion as I was in the Shiverpeaks, which was the home of the Norn, and as Hoelbrak was their capital city...

Still curious about the changes that I'd made, I looked out for something that could reflect my image. But searching for a mirror-like surface wasn't that easy if you only saw snow all around you, so I decided to keep that for later, there would be mirrors in Hoelbrak for sure.

After a long time of walking I finally saw a big construct made of stone on the distance, and as I came closer, I could make out a sign in front of the gate with letters on it that I couldn't read, but if I was right about the game, those letters were new-krytan. I entered the stone construct and saw many people with familiar armor roaming around and a tiny creature sitting on a wooden crate.

Well, this was going to be fun!
