-- A Lost Soul --
I woke up. Trapped in a coffin of ice, unable to move as I twitch my body around, I sense something happened to me. Thing is, I cannot remember what got me here. I managed to free myself after countless attempts in pushing this coffin from the inside off the platform it's on. When I was freed, I looked up noticing that I'm surrounded by a number of dead bodies all trapped within the same kind of coffin I was placed in. How I got here is still unknown, why I was in the coffin doesn't spark anything in my head, I need to know exactly what happened to me. My memory is a blank though the only thing I can remember is a name... Sub-Zero... I don't know what this name means; I don't know anything about that name. Am I Sub-Zero? Is someone I know named Sub-Zero? I can't remember.
I walked around the tomb, noticing the walls were like mirrors, seeing my reflection; I need new clothes to wear. Is it wrong for me to steal clothes from a dead guy? I doubt that it's wrong as I see that a dead warrior was robbed of his clothing, I guess it's perfectly fine when you're in the need of new clothing... Especially if the ones you're wearing is all torn? Slipping into new clothes, I feel as if something inside of me was getting stronger. I looked at my hands; I could see that they were beginning to get covered in ice! What is going on with me?
``You're a Cyromancer as well.'' A voice said from behind me. I turned around. A man wearing a brown cloak was staring at me.
``I'm a what?''
``A Cyromancer, someone who has the ability to wield ice. I sense that you once worked with a man named Sub-Zero?''
``I-I'm not familiar with that person but the name rings a bell.''
``Heh. Well, I know who you are, I know everything about you.''
``You do?''
``But, in order for me to reveal everything about who you are, I would like for you to do something for me.'' This man is willing to tell me everything I need to know about myself, but for some reason I'm getting a bad feeling just looking at this man. He doesn't seem trustworthy, he's got a smug look on his face, I feel I'll be doing a horrible thing if I agree to do what he wants me to do. I simply declined his offer.
``No thank you, I'd rather try to remember more about myself in my own hands.''
``You're willing to give up all the information just like that? I can tell everything about you within a matter of seconds, but you would rather go out into the world as a lost soul and figure things out? What happens if it takes you years to get the answers you seek? You'll be wasting your life if you go out there on your own. You can save time by working for me and get everything just like that. What do you say?'' It's tempting, that I can save time by agreeing to helping him out, but I just cannot accept this offer. He doesn't seem like a nice person to work with.
``I'm sorry, I'd rather not.'' The man gave out a maddening look. He lashed at me with his hand and knocked me to my feet. My face hurt. Looking up, the man was about to send out another attack but someone attacked him from behind. The man was shocked and ran away. I could not find the attacker as I stood up. I wondered towards the exit of the tomb and saw the man still running down the cliff side. He looked back and saw me.
``This isn't over, you will work for me one day, Frost!'' He shouted out. Frost? Is this my name? I would also like to know who saved me from a beating. All I know is that there are questions needing an answer. I looked over the cliff and spotted a giant building in the distance. Maybe if I head there, someone in that building could help me out.
My adventure begins...

I'm doing a series of short stories about a particular character. My first story is about an amnesiac Frost. I don't feel like going too much into details because it's not that long of a story and I don't want to spoil anything, Please let me know if there are things to work at. Enjoy, there's more to come.

But, I'm working on different characters, so it'll be awhile for a continuation for Frost. Right now, I'm working on Tanya.
But, you'll be surprised.

Where I'm heading towards this is simple. I'm not trying to make her seem like an evil character at all, but I also don't feel like making her seem like she needs to be good either.
I want to take her in a direction where you'd least suspect she'd go.

Frost is actually Sub-Zero from the future, after he develops a taste for lace and goes through a sex change that accidentally wipes out his memory and sends him back in time? I wouldn't expect that happening.

Haha, no... More down the lines as if she's struggling to be good or bad due to her memory loss.
Sub-Zero doesn't personally enjoys her as of right now because of what she did to most of his students, and Quan Chi feels that he needs to have her on his side because he can sense the evil in her, but she doesn't want to go down a path of evil.
Where can you go at this point when you have someone who you believe can help you but doesn't enjoy having you around, while some crazed sorcerer desperately wants to have you on his side? Nowhere right?
