Ice cracked under Lira's boots as she crested the ridge, breath fogging in the biting wind. The bracer on her left arm throbbed, its runes glowing faint blue against her scarred skin. She wasn't climbing for glory anymore—just survival.

Three days ago, in a torchlit cavern reeking of damp stone and regret, she'd pried the bracer from a frozen warrior's corpse. 'Bearer of the oath,' it had whispered in her mind, voice like grinding glaciers. Now, every shadow hid faces—ghosts of those she'd failed, their eyes accusing.

The path narrowed to a ledge slick with rime. Below, the valley swirled with mist, pines bent like supplicants. Lira's fingers numbed, but the bracer warmed, urging her forward. A spectral hand brushed her shoulder; she swung her axe, cleaving empty air. The ghost solidified—a boy, no older than ten, clutching a broken shield. 'You left me,' he rasped.

Heart pounding, she pressed on, the air thickening with frost that tasted of iron. The rune-carved obelisk loomed ahead, half-buried in snow, humming with power. As she touched it, visions flooded: endless winters, betrayed comrades, her own reflection cracking like ice. The curse fed on guilt, she realized—hers, woven into every quest she'd abandoned.

But then, a warmth pierced the cold. The bracer loosened slightly, revealing an inscription: 'Shatter the oath, or become it.' Lira hefted her axe, muscles burning. One strike could end it—or bind her forever.

Thunder rumbled, not from clouds, but the mountain itself. Cracks spiderwebbed the obelisk. Ghosts gathered, murmuring. Her axe descended—and the world tilted into white.
