Fuck this shit-

That was all you could think to yourself as you awoke on top of a fucking mountain. It was cold as balls and you swear to god you were going to freeze to death out here if you couldn't find somewhere warm and fast. When you had woken up the first thing you had noticed after beginning to move was that your ankle had some sort of injury that was causing a small limp. You had your bag with you and if you could find a dry place you would be able to light a fire as you had a lighter on you. Thank goodness you had a flannel in your bag as well, it didn't add much but it was better than just a hoodie and a tank top.

You squint your eyes through the falling snow as a light up ahead catches your attention. It was orange meaning there was a high chance of fire. And fire brings warmth. You pick up your pace slightly, your ankle screaming at you to slow down as it gets dragged through the snow.

As you got closer you could see it looked like a torch of some type. It was like a floating flame in a tower of rocks. It was unsettling to see the flame float there without fuel but the flame felt like it was melting away any ice and snow that was on you.

You let out a sigh and just stood next to the rock tower and floating flame, it low key reminded you of a realistic seelie... wait-

"You there! What are you doing on this part of the mountain? It's closed to the public." You snap your head to the path up ahead to the voice that cut off your thoughts. On the path stood someone in warm clothes that mimicked that of the fatui pyro agent uniform but warmer. The person even had a mask on.

"Ah sorry I'm a bit lost and cold, despite having three layers on." You chuckle nervously. "Is there a cosplay convention on or something? Bit weird to have it on a mountain..."

"I don't know what you mean by convention but the sheer cold will do that to you." The man who was dressed in fatui gear looks you up and down as you stare at him in confusion. "You're not from around here are you? How did you get past the barriers?"

You chew on your lip as you begin to go into disbelief. "I- I have no idea how I got here. Shit, how much trouble am I going to be in?"

He purses his lips before turning. "I'll help you down the mountain and take you to someone who can help you with your amnesia. If you're lying, he'll know." You narrow your eyes with a slight tilt of your head.

"I just want food and sleep but that would be great, thank you." You nod and limp after him, trying not to lean closer to the stranger as you exit the range of the hopefully-not a seelie. His coat was flapping in the wind and you wondered whether or not it was actually doing anything. "Um.. so what's your name?"

"You don't need to know." He says simply before falling back into silence. His pace was decently faster than yours and you were struggling to keep up with your sore ankle. There was a small voice in the back of your head that was telling you that maybe you shouldn't be following the random dude who isn't going to give you his name. But you ignored the voice as it was cold as balls here and you just wanted somewhere warm to say even if it meant getting kidnapped.

It wasn't too long after falling into silence that he notices your limp and slows his pace slightly as the orange light of a fire comes into view somewhere along the path ahead.

"How did you hurt your leg?" He asks, finally breaking the silence. You would have given him a taste of his own medicine and ignore him, but he was helping you.
