[0860] Beginning and Ending

Anyone seeing Sejuani in her half-ice form for the first time would assume that the fleshly half was her true body.

Ashe had also heard about the Battle of Silvermine City and knew that Lux had once defeated Sejuani head-on, so she was no exception when she saw Sejuani in this state.
