Chapter 11: The Tomb Antechamber
Wen Qi found the crack in the cliff an hour before dawn.
It was a seam in the blue ice, barely wide enough for a crow.
The tomb had been Mo's own hidden vault long before the war.
He said he had cut the crack himself, four hundred years ago, to smuggle in wine.
It took them an hour to crawl through it.
Han came out on his hands and knees onto a floor of black glass, and stood up in the Frost Tomb.
The antechamber was round, and the walls were pale blue ice, lit from within by a faint cold glow.
At the far end stood a tall black door, furred over with frost.
Behind them, through the stone, they could hear the faint stamp and mutter of two hundred Crimson Banner soldiers camped outside the forced outer gate.
Nobody had come in.
Nobody had dared.
In the middle of the room lay a long slab of ice as wide as a bed.
In the top of it was a hollow in the shape of a man.
Mo stopped walking.
He stood looking down at the hollow, the white hair hanging around his face.
"Three hundred years," he said, very quietly.
Han came to stand beside him.
"I traced every crack in the ceiling," Mo said. "Endless stone."
"I went through the duels. I felt your breaths through the heart, when they came."
"Xuanyi."
"It was cold, Zhaohe."
Han put his arms around him from behind and held on.
