2, 13, 20, 31, 50!! (for the HP thing)

fifty hp themed asks ~ @coldbears

2: Patronus? As told by Pottermore, my patronus would be a Fuckin’ Eagle. I remember being disapointed a bit when I got that but then I was like “wait, I’m fucking majestic. my patronus should be a majestic as fuck bird!” (also feel like Stephen would have the same patronus as me)

13: Character you most identify with? Probably Remus Lupin. In a very weird way. 

20: Favorite professor? Professor R.J. Lupin lol

31: Quidditch position or spectator? I’d be a beater. A beater on the Hufflepuff team. Y’all bitches didn’t know Hufflepuffs could be so aggressive and stuff.

50: Who would your BFF be? Teddy Lupin. He’d be a cool dude. Or maybe Luna Lovegood.

Ice

Part 2, Chapter 1

The hail was making it too hard to fly. Fri settled down and let her talons settle into the snow, digging into a few centimeters of it. The freezing temperature wasn't as much of a problem as the burns that ate away at her scales. She started thinking about the words Tija and Astra had told her. To bear the cold. It had two meanings; both that she was enduring it, and that she was, in fact, the one that yielded it.

I might have not been, in their eyes, who I thought I was.

How appropriate it was then, that she was being the one to set foot in a land of ice. They must've known.

I'm not going to find any dragons here.

And still, all she wanted was to grab the spear she had stolen from the scavenger and have it point in some direction. There must be someone here. Nevertheless, she had to do something about the penetrating cold. "I the great ice dragon, enchant myself to bear the cold," said Fri, putting her left talon on her head to hang onto her ritual. Her wings quickly turned from their usual black leather to a light blue that blended her better with her surroundings. Her temperature started to lower. The ice outside started feeling better and better; it had become as normal as dirt. Her breath stopped emanating the steam she had come to associate with her own soul to be replaced with nothing. She was one with the snow, and she hated it. Fri started walking through the white desert, pulling out the spear she had stolen from the frightful scavenger. It lifted up on its own and pointed in a direction far beyond where she was right now. Seeing the spear reminded her of that brief moment of empathy. They had, as species, hurt each other. I can't think about that right now. If only she had foreseen that everyone deciding where they'd go meant that she would have to go to this freezing hell, she would've acted earlier.

But I can't take that back any more.

How twisted it was then, that she just had made herself the most capable dragon for surviving in the snow. And now that she was getting used to it, hundreds of steps later, it wasn't all that bad.

They will be as cold as you are.

How would her tribe be in a hundred years? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? Would she be proud of what they become? Did it matter? Will our tribes even get along in the future?

That's for them to decide.

When the future is uncertain, all you can do is try to guarantee it. Perhaps that is how Astra felt, after all. To guarantee her legacy; but becoming immortal is another story.

Because I don't want to allow us to intervene in their lives.

Fri, nevertheless, couldn't stop thinking about her parents. They seemed like memories so distant, so blended in the snow now, that she even started to question if they had felt the same way.

Had they intervened to guarantee my future? Even though they never would be a part of it?

She might ask Tija one day.

And did they know that I could do what I do?

Would that have changed their perspective on what they did with me?

Fri shook her head and kept following the direction the spear she carried pointed to. The monotonous snow came to an end; Fri raised her head and saw the ocean, punctuated by beautiful, vast icebergs, seals that lived on the coast, bears and penguins on an island across the water, standing on a frozen lake.

Maybe this isn't as bad as I thought.

The snow slightly ahead of her moved. A dragon, the color of the bright blue sky with short, stubby horns, spikes on the back of the neck, a slim frame and a smaller size than Fri dug out of the snow, belly-up, jumping back in shock and stared at Fri with defensive intent. "Who are you?" said the dragon, "What are you doing here?" Fri examined the spear she carried; it pointed to this dragon. She cherished her first encounter with a new dragon.

"Hello, stranger," said Fri, not sure of what to say. "My name is Fri. I am the great ice dragon, and I am seeking help."

"W-who talks like that?" stuttered the dragon. "Seeking help for what?"

"It is my intention to lead all dragons into conquering the continent," said Fri. "For which, I and my companions travel around the world to find other dragons to help with our cause and take the land from the scavengers."

"Sca---what? You mean the humans?"

"Indeed, the scavengers."

I could get used to talking like this.

"That's impossible," said the dragon. "We are so vulnerable to their weapons, their aggressiveness, how could you convince anyone of doing something like that?"

"Tell me, dragon, are you cold?" asked Fri.

"Have you taken a look around you recently?" The dragon chortled, "I had to cover myself in snow to keep my temperature."

"Allow me then, to take the cold away from you," said Fri, extending her talon to the dragon's head.

"Wait, wait just a second," he said, stepping away from Fri, "What are you going to do?"

"Enchant you," said Fri. "But I don't need to touch you to do it."

"Enchantments. Okay. Sure. I totally believe you," it said.

"Well then. I, the great ice dragon Fri, enchant you to bear the cold," she said.

"Well that doesn't seem to do anyth---" The dragon's words were interrupted as they started going through the same changes Fri went through; preserving their color and overall appearance otherwise. The dragon stopped for a moment, shocked, and looking at Fri. "Y-you did this?" Fri nodded. The dragon dug into the snow, playing with it as if it was warm mud. "That's..."

"Incredible?" asked Fri.

"Incredible!" it yelled. "You said your name was Fri, right?"

"Fri, the Coldbearer," she said.

"Coldbearer. What an accolade," they said. "I'm uh," they stopped for a moment to think about their own accolade. "I'm... Stalactite!"

"I request of you to act in an orderly and respectful way," said Fri. "For less than that may cause you to meet an early death at the hands of the scavengers."

"Y-yes, my queen!" said Stalactite, bowing to her. Fri almost let out a smile.

I could enjoy this.

"Come, Stalactite. We have many others to find before we can enact our victory upon the land."

"Of course, your majesty!" said the dragon, quickly getting up and following her. Fri took out the spear and stared at it. It pointed back into the white desert and away from the ocean. She looked back at Stalactite and wondered if it was time already to continue. The sun was setting; the sky was tinted orange as scraps of clouds covered what remained of the sun. The stars and the moons started decorating the afternoon.

There's no need to hurry, is there?

"Stalactite, how did you end up here, anyway?" asked Fri. "Oh, it's not a funny story at all," they said. "I was on my way home, after trying to make my way through the snow and see if I could find any human settlements."

"Human settlements? What for?"

"Oh, it's fascinating," said Stalactite. "They have these... odd items with inscriptions on them, where they speak at length of many incredible things."

"Inscriptions?"

"You know, those things you unroll, and it has a bunch of symbols in it?"

"Sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about," said Fri, confused. "Oh, let's go to my hideout," said Stalactite. "It was on one of the icebergs before I got tired."

A hideout? Out here?

Stalactite excitedly started beating their wings and took some height. "Come, my queen," they said, smirking, "To the great Mollusk's hideout!"

"Your name is Mollusk?" chortled Fri. "Oh, no, no, not any more. It's Stalactite. It's just that the place is not me, so its name doesn't change," they said with a bit of sarcasm in their voice.

"I see," said Fri, extending her wings, "Let's go."

"Let's go!" Stalactite cheered pumping their left arm and giving Fri a wink; guiding her over the ocean. Fri quickly leaped to follow her new tribemate. The vista of the vast sea was another of those things Fri had never seen beforehand; not just that, but she didn't know how to swim. It was somewhat unnerving to see so much water underneath her, she wouldn't know what to do if she fell into it. Nevertheless, flying across and seeing the incredible ice structures floating amicably was an incredible sensation, as the humid, misty air hit her face in a liberating way, moistening her scales. Fri almost drifted away her thoughts just enjoying her way to wherever Stalactite might have resided.

It is beautiful.

The cold was beautiful, after all. "It's here!" said Stalactite, making a sharp turn behind one of the icebergs. Fri, a bit distracted, quickly reconnected to reality as she tried imitating Stalactite's sharp turn a little later than she would've wanted. Stalactite extended their wings again and started beating them in an eight-shaped motion as they pulled their body backwards and suspended themselves in the air. "Here it is," pointed Stalactite, extending their right arm to point at a small opening, for a dragon, that seemed to have been craved painstakingly, by hand. The claw marks gave the edges of the ice a jaggy texture. They both entered the opening. Fri set her talons on the floor of the opening; the interior was still illuminated by the few bits of light that the sun still came up with. They reflected on the interior much in the same way Tuga's light reflected of Fri's scales in the night. "Beautiful, isn't it?" said Stalactite.

Beautiful?

Fri felt she was suddenly blushing.

Oh, the interior.

"It's amazing," said Fri, still with a blue blush on her face. "Is it warm here at night?"

"I used to use a snow blanket at night, but I don't need to anymore," said Stalactite. "Hey, let me show you before we run out of light." The dragon ran to the back of the hallway and turned left, disappearing after they entered a room. Fri sat down and brought her wings towards her, settling on the what-would-have-been-slippery ice floor.

I never would have thought how bright the snow really was.

It was oddly uplifting compared to the darkness of the cave; everything seemed so at peace compared to the incredible variety of plants, insects and animals that lived back at the mountain. It was a treasure that perhaps her friends wouldn't had ever been able to appreciate. This could be our home. If human settlements were hard to find, obviously, perhaps their friends could see reason in wanting to live here, away from the other humans. Predating on whatever they could find here, where very little could really harm them; where they could use the ice to build all the incredible wonders they wanted. And animus powers could help. It would be an incredible society of dragons. Stalactite came back to Fri across the hallway with parchments of yellowed paper in their mouth and talon, clumsily using their wrists to walk. They dropped all of the papers down in the floor; they quickly started to moisten. The dragon grabbed a large mat made out of animal leather, similar to that of the skin of a bear, and put the scrolls resting on top of it.

"And there you have it!" said Stalactite, quickly rummaging through the papers. "Ah, this one! This one, has beautiful drawings of the land. It even includes a map of the continent," they concluded, holding a scroll open with both hands.

"A map of the continent?" Fri examined the parchment Stalactite held open. It revealed that the continent had the shape of a dragon. "This is shaped like a dragon!"

"Isn't it incredible!? It says it right here. 'This unnamed land is in the shape of dragons. Beware, for they are vile and dangerous creatures not to be reasoned with,'" quoted Stalactite.

"What? Us? Vile?" asked Fri. She looked at the inscribed symbols on the scripture, attempting to decipher them; they were no more meaningful than scratches on the floor. But of the dragon shaped land?

It is an omen.

"Well, it's not like they have the best relationship with us," said Stalactite. "I've already lost some friends to some inept thievery of these scrolls. They're..." Stalactite put on a pained expression. Fri felt a connection to this dragon for their pain of the loss. She patted the dragon's back in understanding.

"They're important to you because of that, aren't they?"

Stalactite nodded. "That's correct. Pyra always wanted to know the shape of the continent," they said, containing their breath. Stalactite exhaled, breathed in deeply and gave Fri a sorrowful smile. "Well, now we'll get to take the continent for ourselves."

"It's a signal," said Fri, in an attempt to give consolation to Stalactite.

"A signal? A signal of what?" they asked, confused.

"That this world belongs to us," said Fri, decisively. "Or that it will."

Stalactite smiled. "Thank you, Queen Coldbearer."
