The cold, unmoving place locked down for years finally began to show what it truly was. Coated with sheets of ice, layers thick, the original structure could not be seen through the frozen armor. To find a way inside meant to brave the very cold that created the fortress, standing solemn and alone.
But the environment turned it to its advantage. For while the sheets of ice kept the fortress impenetrable it also made it inoperable. Whatever had resided within had now become entombed by the place and its frozen plate-mail. The foundations shuddered under the brittle cold, the beams and quarters glazed over with a clear polish. It creeped everywhere. And now the fortress would begin to feel the paralyzing bite of a winter cold...alone.
.......never found the words to say.
