The banging headache was the first thing that she noticed. Cold. Her legs hurt, her stomach was empty. Very cold.
She was lying uncomfortably on hard, icy floor. A small groan escaped her lips as she tried to open her eyes and sit up. To no use, the dizziness and pain forced her down.
A voice approached her mind, chilling as ice itself.
"You've been asleep for a while now Vi. Do you know why you are here?"
The voice was not close, but not far away either, as real as Vi herself, but not at all fammiliar.
It was like the nights waiting for yordle smugglers, cold nights, outside of Valoran. Caitlyn had seemed so scared, therefore Vi had to not be affraid at all. The essence of The Frostguard.
Vi tried to sit up again, but to no use. Her eyes tickled as little shards of ice were broken upon opening them. Looking up, she saw a darkblue room.
Nothing but icy walls around her. She made out a big, icy door. It covered most of the wall and had a giant lock in the middle.
"Lissandra?"
A giggle could be heard.
"We are here because of the Summoners. They are reading."
"Reading?"
Vi had heard of The Ice Witch, she is rumoured insane. Manipulating ice and dark magic to gain power.
Rumours of people going insane, seeing things, dying.
Vi knew that she was in trouble, unable to move, hearing voices in her head.
"Look, you believe you're in this room, maybe caught by me, because that's what they make of it.
You, this room, this entire world – you're all just stray thoughts in the Summoners head, a story they're creating. Because of me."
Like needles in her head, the voice pierced her sanity.
"And if I were to just believe you. Tell me, what excactly happens in this story?"
"Well, it's pretty boring so far. Maybe we should spice things up a little."
"How can we do that… what is that? I hear screaming. I'd better check–"
"I wouldn't stand up and check the door Vi. The Summoners reading and I, we just made some bad things come true out there."
"What's going on outside?"
"Something terrifying. Trust me, the people reading this have some sick and twisted imaginations."
Vi looked mortified as the screams grew in volume.
The door opened.
