Cold light of day.
She couldn't believe how cold this world felt, how cold and lonely. Even in this mortal state she had so many things and yet she had so few. Her heart felt as cold at the rest of her, even as it pumped the warm blood through her veins she felt nothing but the ice. Everything was lost to her, her best friend, the child she had thought of as a daughter, the man she was to marry.
This world she was cast to live in, powerless and lonely. Iris felt like a shell, a shadow of what she had once been and it was this way she would live out the days of Solan's life. It was then and only then that she would regain her powers.
But it didn't help her now, it didn't help against the cold bitter shell that had formed around her heart, that empty vessel that had once been filled with so much love.
Kailin was gone forever, Snake had this perfect life and Iris had nothing left. It was humbling. And it was cold, so cold she couldn't help but shiver as she walked through the streets of New York.
