Her head is throbbing even worse, the ground beneath her is solid ice making her fall worse. There is something in her hair, most definitely blood or snow. She heaves for air, lungs once again moving with her racing heart pumping blood.

Summary
It was…strange. Seeing Adaine in her current state. It wasn’t unusual to see her hurt, no, it wasn’t that. It was seeing Adaine hurt and being able to do nothing strange.
The hospital gown, the oxygen mask over her mouth, the IV line in her only arm, her disheveled hair that still had the tint of red from the blood. Bandages covering her in almost every inch of skin that Kristen could see. Blankets wrapped around her hands and feet that were a different, more red shade than her usual pale color.
Kristen was a cleric for Cassandra’s sake. A Saint, self-resurrected herself, died twice, and lived. Yet as she looked at Adaine, her best friend of nearly four years, one of the first people she bonded with because of their shitty biological parents, she found a home with.
She was helpless.
Or
The before and aftermath of the events of Cold and Alone, where Adaine is lost underneath the ice of the Mountains of Chaos.
