COLD

A cold blue sheet of ice covered everything in Samael' vision. During thousand years he had counted one hundred and thirty-two air bubbles which fifteen had formed inside holes where his eyes used to be. He had also managed to identify races of twelve other prisoners with his vision that he could see only as a dark blurry figures in distance. Judging from the pose of another human probably not more than three meters from him could probably see him as well. Sometimes Samael thought who resided behind him but this unnamed fellow couldn't giving him the answer as much he couldn't ask the question. Maybe it was his imagination but this time Samael thought that he hear something trough his earless ears. For a moment he focused his wondering thoughts to the sounds carefully listening how quiet thuds echoed through the ice. Yes. Someone was walking through the passage between the icy walls. Probably a guard at least judging how heavy the steps we're most like accompanied by another unlucky soul, casted into this icy hell. Samael chuckled, not literally of course, but within his mind and resumed to identify the position of a figure left from his earlier success. This one was more difficult. He had already used quite a while trying to understand where he or she was looking at or was he human at all. But he had time. A lot of it. Frick... A sudden crackle awoke him from his subtle study. What was that? Thought echoed through his mind. Voice had gone silent and the never melting ice wasn't supposed to crackle even if the devil himself would come to hammer it from outside. Then what was that? He asked again desperation grabbling within his skull. Could it be? Maybe there was mercy in this world after all. If his bones wouldn't have been locked firmly in place by sheet of ice, his jaw would have dropped from amaze as within his vision the ice began to crackle and break, slowly only inch by inch. Samael tried to keep his head but after such long time within this torment he couldn't help himself from cheering inside his mind as he could feel ice imprisoning him to slowly fall apart just enough that massive paw could envelop his bones and pull him out down again the snow covered floor. Feeling the paw moving aside Samael took few long a deep breaths by old memory as without lungs he couldn't even make the air move between his empty ribcage staring down at the shadow and his dark brown arms and hands. Dark fleshes bones. Most of the prisoners we're left little bit of flesh but he was rippled naked to the core and now he finally could see what thousand ears did to human bones within cold ice. Even his bones felt hollow.

"Hell. They even took my marrows. What the hell he does with my marrows?" Obviously the guard wasn't going to answer his question but instead he heard a strong commanding voice above his head: "On your feet sinner. King doesn't wait." He never does. Samael though himself and arched up onto his feet giving the guard a quick examining look. Just as he suspected. A golden dragon towering at least five meters tall and with a wingspan no less than six meters, stared down at his skeletal form with gold gleaming eyes. Probably the very same fellow who escorted him within his prison back in time. The dragon snarled revealing row of pointy white teeth as he tossed his head towards the long icy hallway opening before his eyes. "Move! I have no desire to carry you before him!" Samael obeyed clacking his teeth together and shambled forth listening silent echoes of his and dragon's steps as two walls of ice slowly passed by and all poor souls locked within them.

After a lifelong march trough icy prison Samael and his silent follower reached to the doorway into the inner chamber. Well doorway was overly exaggerated word for a huge hole in ice wall, illuminated by two torches which burned cold blue flame. As he walked onward Samael peered over his shoulder to note that the guard remained in the hall curling up in a golden ball before the hole as he passed into the inner chamber. This only made sense. One who resided within inner chamber didn't need guards, servants, well anything to be exact. Samael would have swallowed if he had his throat when he noticed passing two gigantic pillars within pitch black darkness as he ventured forth his footsteps echoing in darkness. Now I remember how much I hated this... He tried to steel himself distant memories crawling their way back trough locks and doors inside his mind. There was three sets of those pillars. He memorized himself almost shuddering as another pair of pillars appeared from the darkness like ghosts of the past passing him without a sound. But there was a sound. A thundering voice called before him: "Samael Pohjantähti! Haste and come forth! Time of reckoning is at hand!" Feeling his lower jaw dropping Samael speed up his feet almost running pass the third pair of pillars as the fear and hope rushed trough him. Reckoning? He always knew it would come but what would be the prize for his dammed soul? He shook his head banishing questions into the snow and stopped clenching his bony fingers into fists and looked up as the darkness revealed the sight he had never forgotten. More than ten meters away snow was blown away revealing the icy floor underneath it. There ice rose upright forming a gigantic, yet artless throne with just left icy armrest and cold wall of ice to lean on. There sat the King of nothing. He or it formed from a towering mass whirling formless mass of ice, snow, blood, gore, darkness, iron, cold, steel, bone, leaves and anything one could see with a thousand years upon earth a bellow. It had no grown, no clothes or scepter but here he's rule was absolute for he was the judge, jury and executor of the damned. For a brief moment set of white objects, which seemed like a skulls of newborn formed a lips somewhere near the top of his form but we're quickly pulled back into whirling mass as the King spoke: "Three hundred years ago a undead with a great sin escaped from my domain. Aduril the wise, a great sorcerer while he still lived and your master and teacher." Shudder shot trough Samael' feet trough his bones and up to his skull. Aduril was indeed his teacher but he had no idea that he would have been dead, neither that even him would have power to break from eternal prison of the sinners. Before he could arrange his thoughts into a question the King continued: "Ten others I have sent to bring him back and not one of them has returned. Therefore I have released you so that with another you can fulfill your reckoning day." Samael tried to swallow unsuccessfully and tried to smirk tilting his head slightly to left.

"So I have to send back my former teacher to redeem my sins?" The King motioned in a way he supposed to be a nod even thought it was impossible to be sure.

"Yes. You are his only apprentice residing within these halls and after him the one with greatest sin. It is only fitting that you will the one to bring him back." Samael straightened himself striking a point which he only ended up regretting just seconds after words left his mouth.

"And what if I refuse? Who else would you send to bring him back?" The King moved stretching his form towards him, causing the Samael to yelp in terror as maw of dead opened into whirling mass before him.

"Then your reckoning has been passed judging you forever within icy prison of my halls until world comes to an end!" His voice blew snow around and sheer volume of it knocked Samael from his feet, pushing him down against the floor as it began to crackle underneath him.

"Alright alright! But you spoke of another! Who is that?!" Maw closed and King slithered back onto his throne giving him a change to rise back on his feet which still shook from the shock.

"There was only one whose sin was close to yours. A black dragon named Glacies. I do not thrust you to handle Aduril back by yourself so I have forged your reckonings to one another. Once you have fulfilled your mission his sins will be redeemed." Oh hell... For a moment Samael wanted to protest but knowledge how it would end saved him from further yelling. He could always dump the lizard after he had left this icy hell behind. "Well since I have no choice in matter. I'll do as told but I cannot return to the world of living like this, neither bring Aduril back unarmed and without necessary equipment." For a moment it seemed that King had ignored his words but then with a hollow chuckle it reached forward at him with slightly hand looking tendril. "You we're buried in snow without a grave and for precious weapons you had, they are scattered across the world of living but I'm sure you have an idea where they could reside and Glacies is forced to help you to recover them if you must. For the rest all that matters is that before end of times Aduril his here either locked inside my halls or torn apart into the snow." Samael wanted to protest but King brought his hand down upon him and for centuries he felt like dying again crying into the void.

He woke up in snow to feeling of his frozen blood making its way through his veins. He shot up roaring in pain with his eyes closed and his hands reaching up to claw his cheeks. Then realization sunk in. Even though cold he could feel his flesh again. Fingertips against buffed cheeks, aching pain arching trough his upper back, a small itch and sweet taste of blood dripping from tip of his tongue. Samael opened his eyes seeing the dark clouds covering the cold winter skies and looked down seeing his dried, white hands and dirty and tattered robe he wore before his demise. He blinked twice tilting his head from side to side and twisting his wrists and wriggling his fingers. The unnatural cold inside him and the snow white color on his skin told a story of his current existence. He wasn't yet alive, only free from the prison of the sinners. An undead on land of living. But that's all I need. He though himself as dirty smirk rose upon his cheeks. Free again! Feeling better than in lifetime, he rise on his feet only leaning down a little to dust some snow from his robe. Being undead would be a problem for a while but Samael knew how he could return to his former, more lively self and doing so wouldn't even be that hard to accomplish. Only then as he raised his hands back to his eyes to give himself a moment to amaze flesh he had missed so long he heard a low growling voice somewhere behind him.

"So you must be Samael Pohjantähti or has the King of nothing sent a wrong fool to inhabit his flesh?" Surprise caught up on him and he turned around on his right foot only to realize that he was staring a wall of ebony black scales. "Heheh. Hey yes up here." The voice chuckled and arching his head revealed set of red eyes and smirking white teeth staring down at him in the darkness. "Glacies I presume?" Samael noted taking a step backwards while he tried to pick the details from dragon's body. He was huge, at least twice as big as the guard was but with black scales and the darkness surrounding them it was impossible to make accurate notes about him.

"Yes and I believe you know my part from the King' deal with you?" Dragon kept smirking and Samael could hear something moving in the darkness far from his left side. How big he could be?

"I know your part yes." He started biting his tongue and stared right into beast's eyes. "But I'm afraid I have no need for you. I am able to take care of Aduril myself." For moments it was quiet, then as cold breeze swept the snow between then the eyes disappeared and dragon started to laugh. Samael opened his eyes for surprise and listened this hearty almost mocking laughter for few moments until he braced himself and demanded an answer: "What is so funny?" Dragon stopped taking his time to steady his breath. "Oh poor, poor Samael. I was set free from icy hell just like you and I was there for a reason. Do you think I wouldn't have thought about running away do you?" Hearing snow moving around him Samael leaned slightly backwards as Glacies brought his red eyes down to his level. "I know your sin and I'm fully aware what you are capable of but mark my words human. My release from sin is tied into your succession. I don't care if you want to go back to halls of King yourself, wander around the earth as hollow undead or bring your master back, but I'm not going back there and I'll make sure you succeed whatever you want it or not!" As his voice reached up to peak of roaring Samael closed his eyes and smirked his mind begin to search force within himself. "Then that only means that you have to force me." He pointed out watching the dragon to pull his head back up as small spark formed onto his palm. For much of his surprise dragon started to chuckle again revealing his teeth in a mocking grin. "Very well. I shall show you why I was chosen to assist you, for you have no change against me." Dragon's words were like salt smeared upon open wounds. Biting his teeth against each other Samael took another step back lifting his right hand as the spark over his palm bursted into ball of flames. Then without words or further ceremony he simply threw the ball watching it to expand and explode into fiery wall of fire swallowing the beast and lighting up ten meters of empty field around them. As the fire died out he reformed the ball upon his hand spitting curse at his adversary: "Who's laughing now lizard?" Much to his horror reply came with amused tone as Glacies eyes appeared into the darkness. "It seems that would be me wanderer. I told you. You're not of my match." Surprise flicked across his mind but Samael steeled himself this time tossing the flame at dragon's eyes. His aim was there and he saw how fire enveloped dragon's head and most of his neck, but that was it. Even when the fire vanished into wind clouds had begun to disperse and within dim moonlight he could see how much effect the all consuming flames had on the beast. None! Maybe it was natural reaction since his feet began to shake and fear rushed over him as dragon shook his neck and head before setting his eyes down at him. "Good shot human, but I'm afraid that even if I would have kept my eyes open you couldn't have hurt me with that." Samael clenched his fists and stepped back Glacies moving forth right at him. "Now I think it's my turn." He didn't have time to react when he felt massive paw striking down upon his head knocking him face down into deep snow. "Agh! You bastard! How did you..?" His voice was cut off when dragon added more force pushing him deeper into cold snow. "That's not your concern little human but if we're going to be able to work together I have to make sure that you believe my word next time and not try to disobey me." Dragon loosened his grip just enough so that Samael could lift his head from the snow and see something hanging from the dragon's underside. "I think I can think of something suitable for both of us." Feeling his claw dragging down along his back Samael tried to rise but dragon quickly wrapped his fingers around him squeezing his arms against his sides and lifted him up like a child's doll. "You monster! You cannot be serious!" He protested trying to thrash around and kick the beast as he first rose up on his back feet and then sat down giving human a good view to his belly side and a dragonhood side of a strong man's arm. "Oh but I am." Glacies flicked his eyes and smirked as he brought him down at the massive meat. "You're a disobedient human trying to deceive the King of nothing and I and I'm a damned dragon who had been kept in icy celibacy for almost a thousand year. This is the most fitting way for us both." Samael wanted to protest but he could only yelp as he felt hot throbbing cock to slide up along his thighs until it's thorny tip pressed down against his hole. Only increasing the mockery Glacies leaned forward and whispered into his ear before he speared him down along the meat: "Good thing you didn't wear any pants when you died. That would had been such an ass to get them off now." Samael couldn't reply trough the painfull screams escaping from his lips. He had never done such before and even dragon's tip were big like a newborn's hand stretching his hole apart. Even worse his cock had a line of thorns on its underside which grinded his walls as he was mercilessly pushed further and further down along the cock. The dragon on the otherhand seemed to enjoy himself arching his head and groaning in bliss which muffled down his cry of pain. Few moments Samael thought that he couldn't stand anymore but then once the cock was halfway inside him Glacies started to pull him off. He wiggled around and groaned feeling the cock getting smaller and smaller up the point when he almost thanked the dragon from his mercy but then he was showed down only to repeat the process over and over again leading the cock deeper inside him. "Aaah! Such a tight little human you are! I'm afraid I'm not going to last long like this!" His roar hurt Samael' ears but not nearly enough compared to pain inside his wrecked hole. "I'm not going to last!" He pointed out whishing he would have remained in his skeletal form as dragon's cock started to pulse inside him. "You're killing me monster!" Glacies didn't care and his grip tightened as his ass almost slammed down against dragon's scaled belly. Biting his teeth Samael closed his eyes feeling like his body would come apart any second now. Then feeling himself being slammed down one more time he heard dragon's pleasurous roar as the world faded black around him.

It was the dim light which awoke him. Samael opened his eyes and realized he was lying down in snow before a small campfire. Without further thought he tried to rise up and sit but pain jolted trough his body causing him to cry out. Still feeling more than slightly sore he ended up going on his knees before the fire as it felt most comfortable even it still caused pain inside him.

"Well looks like you made it alive." Hearing the damned dragon chuckling behind him caused the blood flush trough his veins but Samael tossed his anger into flickering flames and mumbled trough his teeth: "At least now I know what your sin was..." He heard a loud snort from dragon's direction but didn't get swatted or grabbled again. "To point you, against the common believe being a homosexual isn't a sin." Dragon sighed before snapping back at him: "Now Samael I hope you have some plan how we are going to capture Adulir?" Now it was his turn to sight but watching the flames even as he couldn't feel the heat already gave him few ideas how to proceed and hopefully how to get far away from this scaly menace. "We have to get my weapons back. I have a pretty good idea where the most important of them is and that is pretty close." He heard a silent thud behind him and then dragon reached to poke his shoulder with his massive snout. "Oh where we are heading then?" Ignoring him Samael lifted his head and peered around and just as he remembered he saw a dim light at south not far from their position. "To Helsinki." _ _
