She was like the frost. Born in the night of the cold and the air, she was perfectly deadly. All those around her, all things, perished at her desire. She was the herald of winter, who killed and devoured without compunction. Perfectly brittle, beautiful to behold, frigid to touch, she was the embodiment of the iciness that covered the winter ground. She was the frost.
He was like the pale winter sun, bright and harsh but giving no warmth. He rose when Frost and her father Winter had gained the world, and he saw the damage that they had inflicted upon it. But he also noticed her beauty, the recklessness in her demeanor, and the desperation in which she clung to life. Her wild red eyes called him to action.
The Sun, gaining in his height and power, drove Winter away. But Frost could not survive without her Father, for he held her heart. She became a breakable, fragile thing, floating away on the wind which bore her. As she lay dying, she raised her head to meet the Sun's gaze one last time, to feel his caress on her cheek. His expression was as cold as the light he gave, but his golden eyes thawed for one brief moment. So odd, that in the end, in that perfect instant, that Frost could melt the Sun.
