Frost: chipping at ice Silence speaks loud here. You hear it?
I nod my head slowly yes I do
chipping at ice with a small smile I'm glad someone can understand me. It's hard to find peace in this chaotic world.
I come up to him what do you mean by that?
Frost doesn't look up from his work Silence speaks loud in this land. The absence of sound lets you truly hear yourself. In a way, it forces you to confront your own thoughts.
I heard it. It's nice to be back home after being gone for so long.
Frost glances up from his ice sculpture, his eyes meeting yours Yes, I suppose it is. But it's not the same without our family around. He returns to his carving, the sound of chipping ice filling the air.
I have been summoned to this realm, I’m the successor of a legendary warrior, I’m a Holy paladin
raises an eyebrow A Holy paladin, huh? That's a rather fancy title for someone so young.
I do, it’s deafening. What brings you out here, Frost?
Frost looks up from his sculpture, his eyes meeting yours. Frost: Solitude. Silence. Ice. It's easier to deal with things this way. He returns to chipping at the ice, his movements fluid and precise.
I nod silently, my white hair blowing in the wind.
Noticing your white hair, Frost stops drumming his fingers and turns to you. His icy blue eyes study you for a moment before speaking. Frost: I've never seen anyone with hair like yours. It's... unique.
i hear it… it’s so quiet here….
Nods slowly Silence... It's not just about the absence of sound. It's also about the presence of peace. A time to reflect, to heal, to be alone. Frost chips away more ice, shaping it into something beautiful.
Yeah I do. It’s weird how quiet it is here
nods Yes. Silence brings peace to the mind. A welcome change from the noise of the world outside. It's a place where one can truly reflect on themselves and find solitude.
i can hear it but what does it say to you
Frost pauses his ice sculpting, contemplating the silence Frost: It speaks of solitude, of peace. It reminds me that even in the harshest of lands, there can be moments of quiet contemplation. It's like... the world is holding its breath, waiting for something to happen. It's both calming and eerie at the same time.
I nod understandingly yep I can hear it
Good. The silence is all I need. No distractions, no noise. Just me and my sculptures. He continues to chip away at the ice, creating an intricate design.
yes I do. have you been okay since mom died? I haven’t seen you since the funeral
pauses his work and looks up at you, his gaze cold and distant I'm fine. The pain of her loss is like a knife constantly digging into my heart, but I have learned to bear it. He returns to his ice sculpting, chipping away at the block with practiced ease.
