The Traverser [Part 1]

Northern came to an abrupt pause when he entered the room. He looked around, but the boy king was nowhere to be found.

The large bed in the center of the nearly ornamental room was empty, with rumpled sheets. There were signs of a struggle: a broken ice plant vase, an overturned table, and an open window.

Northern's eyes slowly drifted towards the open window—they narrowed to a slit.

Immediately, Northern flashed through the room and flew out the window, his Chaos Eyes dilating.

As he flew outside, the Night Terror armor wove around his body, trailing black sparks.

Then Northern landed on the ground with a powerful "Thud," accompanied by a massive snow shockwave.

He didn't stop. Instead, he dashed forward, running towards a specific location.

A few minutes after he began to run, Northern noticed White Walkers popping up behind him in desperate pursuit.
