It was so cold...
A glittering veil of frost lay all around, sparkling in the last rays of the moon. A cloud swept past, and the world fell silent...
He tried to in vain to move, but was met only with pain.
Vaguely, he tried to remember why he was hurting so much, why it was so cold and so dark...
And all he could remember was her smile, her beauty. Distracting him from everything else, making everything but her somehow less important.
The frost was so cold... Sparkling magic was a far-off dream now, in an icy nightmare. He couldn't find the strength to shiver.
Even opening his eyes...
Drowning in an empty clouded sky, the softly falling snow...
She wasn't there, after all.
