Warmth for The Frozen Heart

Hint of The Past

Morning arrived and Sejuani was already wearing her armors. She went to check the stranger and only found nothing has changed except this time, he was breathing slowly. Bristle was watching the stranger closely making Sejuani curious about it since Bristle seems to be caring too much of this stranger than the people he was used to. Sejuani removed it away from her thoughts and went outside.

The weather seems to be better this time, there were no hails and the wind wasn't as strong as before. Sejuani immediately went to where Udyr was staying at. His house was close and mostly noticeable since it was simply made of stacked rocks that didn't seem to collapse, looking at it is almost similar to a cave. Even with that Udyr managed to make a door.

"Udyr, can we have a chat?" Sejuani asked as she knocked on the wooden door.

It wasn't long when Udyr opened it. He was wearing his usual and invited Sejuani inside. Sejuani have been here multiple times but it was still amazing to see that it was almost similar to her place, there was a campfire, a table with chairs. The floor was patched with a mat that Udyr made from multiple skin from animals making it warmer. Udyr led her to one of the seat and he sat on the other.

"I've come to talk about the body," Sejuani said wich made Udyr look down.

"What about it? The spirits seem to be restless when we were raising it but they've grown quiet after it arrived," Udyr said with a sad tone.

"It's alive," Sejuani said that made Udyr look at her quickly.

"What?" Udyr asked nearly jumping off on his seat, he couldn't believe it.

"It's true, Bristle broke him free from the ice yesterday midnight. That's why I came to tell you about it. Though it's better not to hope too much, its possible that he might be in a comatose state after staying in the cube for too long," Sejuani said and Udyr nodded.

"Is it possible for me to see the body?" Udyr asked.

"Sure, it is currently on my place and Bristle is warming him up," Sejuani replied and stood up.

Udyr followed her and they went outside. Udyr noticed the hails calmed down but wished that it came sooner so that they didn't have to suffer yesterday. Udyr shook his head to remove the thought and followed Sejuani to her house.

Upon their arrival, Sejuani opened the door and saw Bristle beside the man. She sighed as she entered and Udyr followed her behind. Udyr entered and was suddenly overwhelmed by the spirits he trained with for so many years. The tiger and the bear wanted to take control of his body while the turtle made his body stiffen, the phoenix also managed to take some control of his eye making his pupil glow a fiery red.

Sejuani took notice when she heard him groan and kneeled to the ground. She immediately hurried to Udyr and tried to support him into standing up but Udyr shook his head. With all his might he made it inside and sat on the ground, he began to breath slowly to calm the spirits down. Sejuani watched as colorful aura covered Udyr, red, orange, green and yellow light came out like steam from his body.

Sejuani observed while Udyr was in the process of calming the spirits in his mind. The longer he conversed with them, the more confused he became. According to what the turtle spirit said, they were excited when they saw the man. The bear added that it has been so long since they saw him, they couldn't believe that he survived and could not help themselves from being excited by the idea. The tiger could be heard to be sniffing as if it cried but denied the fact when asked. The phoenix who saw the body was chirping wildly.

Udyr took his time to calm them down, two hours has passed before Udyr came back to the present time. There he saw the Bristle beside the unconscious man with Sejuani nowhere to be seen. Udyr walked closer to see and managed to examine the stranger closely. His body was well built, powerful but agile. His face showed someone aging from his twenties and his breathing was normal.
