my heart is a furnace

Who: Fox and Caedra (edit: plus whoever's here for the fallout!)
What: For all Caedra's done to make the residents of Hadriel suffer, Fox takes revenge.
Where: The north island
When: Post-monster event, nighttime
Warnings: Violence, body horror, mentions of character death, allusions to childhood abuse.


It's a dangerous plan. Fox knows it is, but he knows he's all out of other options. So with the ring given to him by Rage hanging around his neck, and his katana in hand, the masked teenager has to face the confrontation that's been eating away at him for months. He hasn't even sent a calling card-- he's not stealing a heart this time, and while this may be about justice, he's acting alone, not on the behest of the Phantom Thieves.

It takes time to track down Caedra: her movements are unpredictable, and it's made all the more difficult by the city being split into islands, and by his preference to move under the cover of darkness. After a few nights of unsuccessful searching, he manages to track her down to one of the rocky beaches where they're surrounded by sea -- where there's nowhere for her to run except to the water, or through him.

He steels himself, and emerges from the shadows, eyes bright with anger behind his kitsune mask.

"Caedra! Your cruelty ends here."

Caedra raises her rapier swiftly as if to parry but realizes too late the movement was a bluff. Even before the false gods ripped away some of her innate defenses, cold was something she never fully adapted to defending against and the shards strike well as they shatter and slice, hissing and steaming as they contact black ichor.

The pain is agonizing and Caedra screeches in horror and tries to teleport away, thinking of nothing more now but to flee and return to finish this idiot off later, but the ice races upward before she has time to act. It coats her in a thick fractal network of frost, and she is held in place. Her feet are anchored to the beach by the thinnest sheet of a frozen wave - but the ice holds firm.
