Chapter 1: Prologue - Shock and Denial

Chapter Text

He dropped the torch and staggered forwards a few shaky steps before he vanished between. He lurched forwards a few more wavering steps before collapsing onto his knees, his vision blurry and Sindri felt a cold bite at him that had nothing to do with the temperature.

He opened his mouth to draw in a breath but the thin, pitiful wail of an injured beast filled the air. The will to move, to do anything at all vanished as quickly as it had arrived and he knelt in the snow, unaware and uncaring as to where he was.

There was nothing there, nothing to cling to and no one to fill the awful, oppressive silence that collapsed in on him with crushing intensity as Sindri welcomed the nothingness with a scream.
