   Summary

   He didn't know if he could ever be who they were expecting again, the ice had creeped too close to his heart, and he was sure it encased everything inside that had made him Zane. Now all that was left was the remnants of The Ice Emperor. But, he was beginning to doubt that he could go back to being The Emperor either.

   or

   Instead of getting all of Zane's memories back with the singular word, as The Ice Emperor he simply is unable to hurt his friends. Once they take him down they will have to work with him to try and get Zane back, but The Ice Emperor is unsure if he'll ever truly be Zane again.
