Ice Woman Lili
The Ice Woman lowered her voice deliberately, but I still recognized it: Lili!
Riven excitedly ran over and pushed open the door, only to see a familiar little figure. ♖👤 ♔😾
"You two brats, how come you can't shake me off!" Lili said, her expression a mixture of anger and delight.
"Actually, I guessed it was you as soon as I heard Trundle's story. You also said that our fate is not over yet, and we will definitely meet again in the future, right?"
"Ice Woman is not me, I am Lili."
"Lissandra, right?"
Lili didn't answer my question; she remained silent for a long while before slowly saying:
"To be honest, I'm curious. I remember you knew the name Lissandra when we first met. No one knows the legends about me anymore. Where did you hear them from?"
"Avarosa, Sejuani, and Lissandra — the Three Sisters are so famous, yet now people only worship two of them. Don't you feel it's a pity?"
Answer my questions properly, or I'll throw you all down!
"I've experienced many adventures, one of which involves a legend from Freljord that mentions you, and after what happened at the Storm Ruins, I'm even more certain of that."
Explaining things exactly as they are would probably be too complicated, so I'll just tell a little white lie; she won't know anyway.
"Hmm... okay, you're very smart." Lili didn't doubt it.
"Trundle said the Ice Woman he met was a tall, slender woman with ankle-length hair. How come you've turned into a child?"
Would you like to hear my story?
"Okay!" Riven quickly replied.
Since setting foot in the Northlands, every place I've passed through —the Watchpost of the Dead, Frosthold, the Charming Women Charming Village, the Yara tribe, and the Trolls Tribe—has its own story.
The story of the Howling Abyss is far more secretive than those. If I were to write down my recent experiences in an adventure log, I don't know how many professional explorers would be envious!
"This child is a gifted mage..."
"Not here. I want to start with the story of the Ice Three Sisters." I interrupted Lissandra, wanting her to begin from ancient times, and she was unusually cooperative:
"Alright, then I'll tell you. I not only said our fate wasn't over yet, but I also said that our next meeting wouldn't be anything good. In the disaster I foresee, you'll likely play a crucial role..."
Lissandra began to speak slowly, her expression solemn, devoid of Lili's mischievousness:
In ancient times, Freljord was not a snowy plain; it was a place teeming with life, just like any other place.
Later, due to a prank by the gods, the place underwent a dramatic change. A volcanic eruption caused thick clouds to gather, blocking out the sunlight for a long time. The temperature dropped sharply, and it began to snow.
The heavy snow fell for a whole year, freezing nearly half of all living things to death, leaving them forever trapped in the snow. The birth of the Three Sisters was to bring peace back to this land.
Like Avarosa and Sejuani, Lissandra is of divine blood. Their mother was Anivia, the goddess of harvest, who used all her Divine Strength to lay three eggs, which hatched into Three Sisters.
Anivia disappeared shortly after the Three Sisters were born. Before she disappeared, she said that she was responsible for the disaster in Freljord and hoped that the Three Sisters could guide the creatures there to begin a new life.
Without proper guidance, the Three Sisters grew up in a state of unchecked development and soon went their separate ways.
The eldest sister Avarosa, went southwest; the second sister Sejuani, went southeast; while Lissandra remained in the far north.
At this time, Freljord was characterized by harsh climate, food shortages, and numerous conflicts between tribes.
It took Avarosa two hundred years to eliminate the divisions between the western tribes, while it took the Sejuani four hundred years.
The far north is sparsely populated, so Lissandra managed to get everyone to put aside their hatred and live in peace without much effort.
At this time, Avarosa and Sejuani were being lauded throughout Freljord, but no one knew they were sisters, and even fewer knew Lissandra. Only a few in the know referred to them as the Ice Three Sisters.
When the Three Sisters met again, five hundred years had passed since they were separated. The eldest sister had become a beautiful woman, the second sister had become a valiant warrior, and Lissandra was the only one who was not outstanding in any way. However, she was not ashamed of herself. On the contrary, she was proud to have such a sister.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the eldest and second eldest sisters, a new era of prosperity arrived, and all races lived in peace. However, beneath this apparent stability lurked an even greater threat.
This threat does not come from conflicts and contradictions between people, but from a terrifying existence in another world, and the person who discovered this terrifying existence is Lissandra.
The Howling Abyss was once just a tiny crack, but when Lissandra was traveling there, she heard a weak sound coming from below.
She thought someone was trapped inside, so she jumped in. Unexpectedly, the crack was very deep, and she used magic to accelerate her fall, taking almost half a day to reach the bottom.
The sight at the bottom startled her!
She saw a gigantic eye staring at her, filling her with a fear she had never felt since birth.
The weak sounds just now came from below their eyes. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could sense that they wanted to break free from their restraints!
If these monsters were to break free, Freljord would surely be plunged into further devastation!
Suddenly, a very handsome man appeared above Lissandra's head, radiating a reassuring Shimmer.
He told Lissandra that the creatures beneath her feet did not belong to this world, and that they would bring destruction, not just to Freljord, but to the entire Runeterra.
The man then patiently taught her a spell, a spell that only those with pure Blood of Ice could use, which could seal away the monsters forever.
Lissandra learned without hesitation, and after she mastered it, the man left. Soon after, his voice came from above. "To activate Sealing Magic, you need to consume the life energy of many powerful races, such as the Snowman and the Trolls."
Both of these races were Lissandra's good friends and among the few who knew about the Ice Three Sisters. She couldn't bring herself to harm them, so she decided to ask her two older sisters to discuss it.
Lissandra had never troubled them, so when her two older sisters heard that she had an emergency, they rushed over immediately. But before they even arrived, the monsters from the abyss broke free of their restraints and attacked the ground!
The cracks continued to widen, and bursts of energy kept surging out!
Lissandra hadn't even seen them yet; the powerful energy emanating from the darkness alone made her feel dizzy.
Fortunately, the crack was deep, and it would take the monster some time to climb up. The situation was urgent, and she couldn't wait for her sisters to arrive!
She used the magic the man had taught her, and when she actually applied it, she never expected it to be so powerful. A thick layer of ice instantly formed on the cliff face of the abyss, extending outwards. All living things touched by the ice perished, and even the rocks changed color...
In the end, Lissandra survived, but she was in a state of extreme panic, running aimlessly everywhere, unable to sense any sign of life...
Lissandra only stopped when she saw several ice sculptures. At the same time, her panic reached its peak. She even thought about taking her own heart out to feel better.
These ice sculptures represent her two older sisters and several members of her tribe.
