Duskfire Glacier and everytime i play an ace, my partner always trumps

After spending a whole day away from the Glacier, Ensio finally decided to return home. Admittedly, he didn't feel much better. His mood was still stormy at best. His heart still quivered, his anger simmering. It would take time. A long, long time for he and Arius to get over the loss of their parents. No child, especially one's so young, should have the center of their world taken away like this. But it had happened and there was no changing the past.

Grimly, he sat at the edge of the lake. An image of ice and stone, seemingly as solid as his surroundings. Inside he was suffering. Trying to toughen up, mend his soul. Down he stared at his reflection, seeing not himself, but the memory of his parents. "Why didn't I spend more time with you, Dad? I'll never get to truly know you now. And Mom...how could you be so selfish? Such a coward?" 

He lashed out then, striking a pebble harshly to send it skipping across the water.
