The Ice Spirit and I stared at each other for what felt like forever, though, in reality, it must have been closer to the space of a single heartbeat. Its soul was unlike I'd anything I'd ever witnessed before. It was an assimilation of infernal mana and demon essence, and yet strangely similar to my own. I could feel its presence as close as Fable, a pulsing warm bond nestled within my soul. It didn't seem to have clear, distinct emotions, not like Fable did, but I could feel a faint sense of pride and satisfaction, as well as…joy?
"I need your help," I said softly, looking up into its icy blue eyes. "Please, I need to get to my friends in the canyon. There is someone who can help Sari, but we don't have much time. She's dying…"
"I obey."
