Three days have passed and Ashe has been resting in a nearby village that was recently built by her tribe. She woke up the day before, but decided it was best to recuperate for one more day. Siting on a clean bed in a simple nightgown that went down to her mid thighs, Ashe reads a map of Freljord to mark out her findings due to her recent confrontation with Sejuani. Turns out she retreated after their fight, putting Ashe at ease. She then feels movement under one of her thighs making her shudder. Lifting the sheeting to her snow white legs, she could see the same fox from before sticking his snout from under her leg. Ashe has learned his habit of hiding under things, so moving her legs will only cause him to move to her bottom to find shelter.

She rubs his nose while he faces the door as if sensing food, then gave her index finger a nibble. Just like his sense of smell predicted Nunu comes in with a plate of food.

"Hurry up, Ashe, and get out of bed. I can't babysit you forever." Nunu says with joking tone.

"It's only been two days since you came here and you're only here because you failed to befriend Madoc time and time again." Ashe replies as she places the tray on her lap and began eating.

"Why "Madoc?" It's not very fitting. How about Snowball or Frosty." Nunu says while holding a piece of Willump's favorite jerky in front of Madoc's face, who shows no sign of interest.

"He likes it, so I'll continue to call him that. And don't be so forceful with him, I'm sure he'll warm up to you in time."

Nunu gives up and finds a sit to talk about Sejuani, but that talk is interrupted when Tryndamere bursts in with anger and concern.

"Are you hurt, Ashe!?" The barbarian king shouts, making the two jump.

As he marches closer, Madoc wiggles out from below Ashe's leg and begins barking at him. Tryndamere ignores him and tries placing a hand on her shoulder, but instead gets bit by tiny fangs hard enough to draw blood and leave a mark. Feeling outraged, he holds a fist and prepares to throw at the defending snow fox.

"Think before you act, Tryndamere or else." Ashe hisses causing him to halt his movements.

"But he attacked first." Tryndamere defends himself, holding his hand out that still had Madoc latching on and growling.

"Your opponent is a snow fox infant." Nunu says sitting back in his chair.

"And it's just in his nature." Ashe adds before calling his name in which Madoc releases Tryndamere's hand and quickly crawls under the leg of the frost archer once more.

"Not to mention, if it wasn't for him, I would be buried under the snow to perish." Ashe continues as she feeds her new friend a strawberry.

"What!?" Tryndamere shouts out in disbelief.

"Yeah, apparently she had a run in with Sejuani a few days ago and that little guy went to get help." Nunu says.

"Then I must go and wreak havoc on her sorry tribe to avenge you!" Tryndamere yells, running through the door and breaking it off its hinges.

"I'll go too. Willump is probably getting bored without me."

Ashe waves goodbye and returns to her meal.

"That's right, I technically owe you my life."

Three days ago...

Madoc couldn't rest even for ten minutes with Ashe lying in the snow motionless, so he ventured out to get help. He then came across the village Ashe was patrolling for. At first his attempt to communicate with barks and whines fail. He finally took drastic measures and stole a guard's bow to initiate a chase which dragged all the way to where Ashe was. She was quickly treated and was told of what Madoc did, after that it was just a growing friendship. She's still not sure about what happened after getting knocked out, but she was definitely alive and well.

Ashe finally returns to her usual routine of patrolling and hunting, both in which she is accompanied by her fluffy friend. Though she thought an animal of his size would be like looking after a child, he turned out to be helpful. From tracking big prey to serving as a courier, she found him to be very valuable. Ashe even felt a little happy knowing that Nunu failed to tame him since it meant that Madoc only liked her unconditionly, but he didn't need to know that. Before she knew it, Madoc became a full-fledged member of Avarosan with the emblem painted on his head to mark to occasion.

Madoc even served as an a ergonomic pillow relieving the stress of the future queen of Freljord, seeing how he always sleeps in random places under her body, the neck being the best according to her.

Seven months have past since Shen went missing from the world and despite being someone of no emotion, Frozen Shen couldn't help but show frustration, giving his family the cold shoulder as he stared at the "wishing tree" in the backyard. Sitting in the living room with his arms crossed while his parents eat mochi and other winter treats as they enjoy Madoc's adventures. But it will be soon when Shen will finally return to his body as he felt Lulu and Veigar's magic growing weaker.

It's been the usually one month ever since Madoc was found by Ashe and through the crystal screen Shen could see his smaller self waking up in the middle of the night. Attracted to some strange force or acting on instinct, Madoc wiggles his way from under Ashe's slumbering body to explore then suddenly gets hug form his owner.

"I am the...true queen...of Freljord. Madoc!...get me an...ice cream..." Ashe was sleep talking while squeezing the snow fox tighter.

Eventually she released him, allowing him to continue with his quest. Running towards Ionia, he finds no trouble traversing the waters as he freezes the surface with his frozen touch.

The next morning, a battle cry echoes through the snowy wasteland causing an avalanche in the distance. Ashe was the cause as her search for her hunting companion/pillow pet disappeared without a trace thanks to constant wind storm burying the ground with new snow, erasing any trace of tracks. The Frost Archer sends out a search party, but the location of her friend would prove to be a conundrum since he wasn't in Freljord anymore. Instead the mini tank was currently taking a nap in the secret armory of the Kinkou stronghold that was currently under the Order of the Shadows' control.
