((Ok bear with me. I've not had any decent Role plays in ages, so I figured I'd start writing a fan fiction to get a few of my ideas out of my head.))
The wind clawed violently against the stranger's back as her bots dug deep into the mountain snow. Flurries of white dust sprinkled their way over her red hood as she struggled to climb forward every step taking her closer to an answer, every breath hungering to know what lies beyond. A few loose strands of raven hair brushed over her fair face as her eyes narrowed. She was almost there. The ice of the glacier became more chunk shaped as she foraged on into the freezing abyss.
They were discarded here, long ago. No longer to be of use by queen corrupt of power and evil, those who had at one time gallantly served a dead queen, were imprisoned in their frozen tomb for all of time. A glimmer from a distance caught the eyes of the violet eyed beauty, her feet instinctively darting through the snow with a sense of urgency. Riding like a mountain from the glacier they stood, in a giant sheet of ice embedded in the mountain wall. Catacombs of glass like ice holding beautiful, pained, dead creatures in full preservation. She felt the tears welling up inside and though she tried to stifle them, they slowly seeped their way to the surface warming her frozen cheeks as they spilled down. Delicate fingers brushed at the loose snowflakes to peer deeper into the frozen tomb. Inside lie what would appear to be a soft man of alabaster skin, and fair locks that covered his forever sleeping eyes.
Rei wept as her fingers curled up into the safety of her hand, her heart feeling not it's usual rage of fire, but the drumming pain of break. She had in her former life loved him for many lifetimes. Living as a queen, an ambassador for good, she did much to help her comrades shape the universe. He was her rock, her joy and her heart through it all and with him she hadn't known a day without hope and happiness. Why did it take her so long in this lifetime to realize it. Why couldn't she remember until it was too late. Beating her hand against the solid ice she cried out "Why?! Why did you leave me? I can't do this without you..."
Sobbing and shaking she crumpled into a ball as her head fell to her hands. Would she be condemned to mourn him for the rest of time? Perhaps she could just stay where she was, she mused in her despair, and let the snow cover her too. To escape this cold dark world, or if nothing else to be with him again and feel the breath of love upon her heart once more...
