The breath of Kohran and his coated companion fogged before them as they searched the frozen urban avenue for supplies. All they could find were another set of shops completely looted or frozen over with that strange ice that was steadily devouring everything. He, like everyone else in camp, had only survived this long by luck and he knew it. And that luck was running out.

"C'mon Lady Luck, don't abandon us now," he said with a sigh.

"Oh please don't start with that gambler crap again Koh. You're a shitty poker player and you know it," Roark replied, peeking into an alley.

"Only because Tarin hides an ace down her cleavage."

"You really believe that don't you?" Roark said pityingly.

As they spoke, something shifted in the snowbank behind Roark. Koh went rigid.

"Don't... move..." Koh said in warning.

Roark cursed. "Another Frosty?"

"Must have gotten buried in the snow."

"Lucky huh?"

Koh inched forward, axe ready as the frozen corpse rose from the snow. It regarded Roark with dead, frosted eyes, and tilted its head as it took a shambling step forward. Before it could take another, Koh charged it and removed its head with a swing of his axe. It collapsed in a heap.

Roark breathed a sigh of relief and faced Koh. "Remind me never to..."

Something chittered loudly behind the big man.

"What the hell was..." he began, interrupted by the spike of ice spearing him from behind. Blood spattered the snow as the giant ice scorpion pulled its victim into the shadows of the alley.

"Roark!" Koh shouted.

"Run!" Roark yelled weakly, before a sickening snap silenced him forever.

Koh cursed and ran for a place to hide.

Coars groaned as he shook his head, panting and silently put his hand over the shard he remembered from his dream. The ice made him wonder where he was for a moment before remembering that he had to get more than just himself. He paused, "Why did he say, breath?"

Trying to stay warm, Coars did something most would do when trying to warm their hands, breathing onto them for warmth.

And would have set his sleeve on fire if it wasn't wet. Perhaps equally strange was him not really being particularly cold despite his condition.

He stares at his sleeve that was now slightly steaming. He blinks, "I breathe fire. I literally breathe fire. Ok, I have to be very very careful about how I go about this or I'll end up killing someone. Still, I can breathe fire. That's going to come in handy."

He looks for an exit, wondering how he got here of all places as he had been in the museum before hand.
"How much time has passed me by?"

The exit to street level is clear of ice and, though the stairs are icy, reaching the top isn't terribly difficult.

Though as he gets close, Kohran runs into the station and right past Coars. "I wouldn't go that way!" he called back. The strange shriek outside that followed was probably why.

He pauses, staring after but grunts and follows back down the stairs, "Well, don't have a handle on it anyway and rather wait just in case to use it."

He keeps following Kohran, having not seen an exit down there from before that he would have realized, but thinking perhaps there may be something worth it following this one if just to get away from what made that shriek. He wasn't sure yet how to do much of his 'power' after all.

"It? What the hell are you talking about?"

The ice construct began to descend the stairs after them. Koh pulled Coars down onto the tracks to hide.

Coars looks to Koh, "Wait until after mortal danger is out of the way?"
he had whispered back, but keeps down on the tracks, focusing as he keeps ready, wondering what he was going to have to do.

He could hear that icey thing coming, and he was willing to bet his flames could at least give them better odds, but he followed the one that was actually trying to help him.

The chittering monster's legs clicked and clacked as it searched for its prey, drawing steadily closer.

Koh nodded and motioned Coars to move down the track in a crouch. As the sneaked towards the tunnel, a pair of frozen undead shambled out of the dark ahead of them.

"Please tell me you're armed," the stranger implored, "A chainsaw would be nice."

"..Chainsaw would do too much noise. I have something but if I use it, don't freak out until we're safe, yeah?"

Coars moves for the two undead, glancing back quickly at the noise from the construct before breathing in deeply, holding it, then breathing out hard at the two shambling undead, spreading his flames hard at them.

Dragons are known to be many things, but for Coars, he was going to change to one. A minor grouping of scales formed on his chest, above his heart. He'd gained a bit of dragon toughness to his core.

Koh gaped as Coars spewed fire over the two frosties. Set aflame, the two creatures lurched forward to attack but collapsed into a wet heap as the cursed ice animating them began to melt.

Unluckily, the scorpion noticed this and released a terrible shriek that sounded like some diabolical instrument in Hell's orchestra.

Koh was too busy processing what he just saw to react.

Coars looks back, moving to grab Koh and begins to run for it, "Not the time to freak out yet!"

Coars was going to run with Koh until he couldn't, though he imagined he'd be able to melt their way into a safer spot by the time whatever that thing was following them lost interest.

He snapped out of it and ran on his own.

"Clearly that thing killed me because that did not just happen!

The creature crashed through the icicles hanging over the tunnel opening behind them and crushed one of the ghouls' skulls as it passed with a sickening crunch. As they ran down the tunnel, it was clear the beast had the advantage in mobility. But as luck would have it there was a service door ahead on the left, and it was ajar.

"Then I'd suggest you bring yourself back to life so we can get out of here because I don't know where I am or what happened to me, but I really do want to try and make sure we live long enough to learn that and figure out a way to fight back!"

He looks to the ajar service door and begins for it, "This way before it's too late!"

"Come on, be enough to stop this thing." he mutters under his breathe. A hallway would be great right now, and he'd be able to do something possibly to slow that thing down for them both to get out alive.

The door takes some effort to open, due to the ice holding it in place, but open it does. Rushing inside the corridor beyond, the get the heavy door shut just before the creature slams into it hard enough to create a large dent.

"Not good enough!" Koh said urgently, "C'mon!

As they fled around the corner ahead, the door exploded off its hinges as the creature scrabbled into the maintenance tunnel. Even in these awkwardly narrow confines, it was disturbingly quick.

"Yeah thought not." rushing for it, "I didn't think it was that small." He keeps going then grunts, "Unluckily this means that I have to use THAT too again.."

He looks to Koh at that, not knowing his name but knowing they had to be careful about it.

"We're in trouble, I know so..I'd best do what I can now.." he looks back and breathes hard down the corridor at the creature, moving back away from it.

The thing shrieked as the ice composing it began to melt, and scrabbled forward with renewed effort in a roiling cloud of steam. It slowed considerably, however, when one of its weakened forelegs snapped. This gave them a chance to either escape or attempt to finish it off.

Koh could swear the closeness of the intense heat this time was making him feel funny, but he chalked that up to the fear-and-adrenaline-fueled wonder of the situation.

"I don't know who or what you are, but I sure hope you're enough of a killer to end this thing!"

"I really hate the thought of such a thing, but it'll kill more people if I don't."
With that line, he breathes in once more, and blasts the slowed construct with another rush of magic intent on stopping it fully while they have the chance. He had hoped for a corridor for escape, but this made sure there wasn't anyway to go but back to keep from being hit by his flames.

The creature emitted a final bubbling moan as it collapsed into a steaming puddle of icy mush.

"That was for my friend you damn ugly bug!" Koh shouted at it.

Then he drew his pistol on Coars. "Not that I'm not grateful, but humans can't do that. What are you?"

"Yes, humans can't."

He looks back at Koh at that, then sighs gently as he looks to the pistol before holding up his hands.
"See? See this? Surrendering. Not going to blow on you. Not my intent to burn people. However, what I am is, well I should say who. I'm Coars Mythal."

He then grunts, "Really though, you can put the gun away. Though you'll probably hate the explanation of what I have to do to save us all. So I'll just get that out of the way. To stop our world from becoming a big ball of ice, I have to assemble an army. Only way to do that, spread the power of the Old Deities who aren't around anymore. How do I know this? Dragon King basically rescued me and told me that the way to win is to breathe. So, it's possible you'll change too."

He ahems, "As for the what of that, I'm becoming a dragon I believe."
He doesn't lower his hands, leaving it in Kohs' hands.

"Ahh yes, why must it be an infection, exactly? It's a tap of potential you didn't have before. I'm not saying I'm some chosen dragon or anything. I'm saying that if we want our planet back, have to change to beat those trying to take it. Magic isn't some disease. At least, I don't think so. It saved me after all."

He nods at that, then puts a hand to his chest, pausing as he feels it, "Mmm guess there is no turning back indeed. I'm turning into a dragon, slowly but surely. Realize, I'm just slightly chilled despite the fact I should be freezing my arms off in such a thing. Magic indeed did save me, though it was part magic part, 'You're a dragon, help save the world. Though it will change if you do or don't, one way has people living, the other, extinction of much more.'"

He looks to Koh again, "So, going to introduce yourself since we're not in mortal peril right at this second?"
He ahems, "Oh and yes, the thing on my chest are scales that you possibly can see."
