The frozen lake cracked beneath his feet
Ethan gasped, losing his footing.
In an instant, the ground beneath Ethan’s feet shattered, his heart racing as he plummeted into the icy depths.
Cold engulfing him, but instead of dread, he felt a strange warmth beckoning him.. An invitation to the unknown.
“I was just trying to skate.” Ethan thought as he closed his eyes and surrendered to the energy pulling him down.
Ethan opened his eyes to a world drenched in light. Instead of darkness, he found himself submerged in a shimmering pool of water, surrounded by dancing lights that sparkled like fallen stars. Panicking, he thrashed, instinctively swimming upward until he broke through the surface, gasping for breath.
He was in Glacialis—a magical realm blanketed in snow and ice, where colossal spires of crystalline towers kissed the sky. Strange creatures flitted just beyond his vision—glimmering figures like wishes just out of reach. A swirling wind guided him toward a snowy shore, where he crawled onto the land, shivering uncontrollably.
“Welcome to Glacialis!” a melodious voice chimed, pulling Ethan from his daze.
