The icicle impales with a choking cry and the horrible screech of metal and sparks. Something dark leaks into the water, first in streams, then in clouds, as the figure tries in vain to right itself back to the surface, but each movement getting weaker and the bubbles rising from its mouth only increasing.
There is no further pursuit. The fighter sinks, sinks, body taking in water with a spasm as its eyes rapidly dull and its limbs go limp.
The storm above does not let up. But you have won. The shattering of the space where your partner had arrived fades, and your partner along with it as they give a final nod of farewell. You are alone once again.
At Void Archive's palm, one of the small flickering circles burns hot for the briefest moment. When the sensation ends, they will notice the circle has been filled in, ivory white circled in sienna.
