ORIGINAL RENDER
THE ICE-BORN SISTER
Let the world remember the price of betrayal.
--
It was her lover who betrayed her. For a pouch of silver and the favor of his chieftain he whispered her secret into mortal ears. “Witch,” they called her. “Curse-bearer. Demon-touched.”
They bound her wrists in iron and dragged her to the edge of the frozen sea. The wind howled as if the world itself mourned as if it knew the injustice that was to come. Nereus begged them not for mercy, but for understanding. Yet still, they cast her into the black water and left her beneath the ice to drown and be forgotten. Little did they know that a witch like Nereus does not simply die. A sister of the storm does not sink like most mortals would. Her scream split the ocean, and the sea... the sea answered.
They say the cold loved her, that the frost crept into her veins not to kill her, but to crown her. Down in the dark she drank the power of the deep, of glaciers older than the first gods, of storms that tore mountains apart.
The sea mother became something new... something terrible, something holy.
When she rose from the ice she was no longer merely Nereus. Her skin shimmered like moonlit frost. Her hair drifted like snow caught in the wind. Her eyes, her eyes burned colder than death itself.
Everywhere she walked, the world froze.

THE ICE PRIESTESS
Forsaken she rises from the frozen wasteland.
--
The wind no longer tore at her, it followed her like a servant. Around her body, swirling endlessly, bellowing clouds of churning ice-cold mist, alive, sentient, always moving, and ever hungry.
She returned to the village, to her people, to those who left her for dead.
She left no footprints.
The first man to see her was her betrayer. He stepped from his home, torch in hand, searching the horizon. The flame dimmed in the cold. When he turned and saw her standing beneath the moon drifting like the snow, eyes shining pale, frost radiating from her skin, his torch extinguished itself. He could not bring himself to move.
He whispered her name.
She did not answer.
She slowly approached him and reached out to gently caress his cheek. As her touch met his skin frost bloomed instantly beneath her fingertips. His skin turned white, then blue, then cracked like porcelain. His breath turned to ice in his throat. His heart froze solid in a single beat.
He now stood before her like a statue, a monument of revenge served cold.
By morning, the entire village was a sculpture of ice.
The people.
The huts.
The wells.
Even the river itself had froze mid-current.
Nereus did not look back.
She was no longer the Sea Mother, no longer a healer. She was the Priestess of Ice, a being of cold incarnate, the embodiment of winters merciless wrath.
It is said that wherever she walks, the world freezes beneath her.
