Umbra sat on the cold ground of another planet. Her eyes were feeling heavy as she felt how she would slowly close them, then flinch and keep staying awake.

Penumbras flew up to her, not making a sound. Though he knew she immediately felt his presence.

"What's wrong, Penumbras?" Her golden eyes squinted at her gatekeeper.

"A thing, Mistress." He replied, sitting near her "..A gift." His cheeks were covered by a tint of pink as he shyly looked away.

"A gift?" The queen's eyes shot open and the curiousity has taken over "What is it, sweetheart?" Her mood seemed to slightly go up.

"Here." He handed her a strange necklace, a weird shape on a golden chain "It's something I found on this planet from a weird stranger. They said it was a symbol of angel's on planet Earth-"

"Oh, Earth! We planned to go there after this planet!" Umbra exclaimed, outside the battlefield she was a lot nicer. She took the necklace, curiously looking at a golden coin with a drawn symbol of a silhouette with wings and a halo.

"I-I hope it will ensure safety for you, Mistress, so an angel would awaken and guard you." Penumbras uttered out, his wide pink eyes looking at her.

"Aww, Penumbras, you're such a sweetheart!" The queen immediately wore the necklace and pulled Penumbras into hugs. He immediately got a lack of air though.








































Umbra opened her heavy eyes with a struggle. Her body trembling, her vision blurry and mind - dizzy. As the dizziness would slowly fade away, another feeling would come to replace.

Cold.

It was utterly cold.

Her eyes widened as she realized where is she. She's laying in the middle of a wasteland, a snow tundra, covered by ancient snow untouched by life. The snow was soft and gentle, yet deadly cold.

A bleak weather was common for places like this. But Umbra was clearly not a person used for this, her armor was too revealing for frost.

She tried standing up, yet only fell deeper in the snow. She hissed from the sharp pain which suddenly struck her exhausted body.

Penumbras wasn't here. No, Penumbras was gone. They all were.

"Oh? You're...alive?" A soft voice murmured from behind, accompanied by the whistle of the wind.

Umbra turned her head to see an Angel in front of her.

"..Are you...an angel?" She barely uttered, her golden eyes staring at him.

A silhouette, a figure with wings, a hood and a halo. He had bright cyan eyes, so beautiful like jewelry. His voice was like a sweet melody, a lullaby.

She always considered her own eyes as the most charming, but now she found a contender.

"I wouldn't say I'm one, but..." The angel awkwardly smiled, but then his expression changed "Wait...You're not from such cold places, aren't you?" He extended his hand.

Umbra reached out for his hand, but the dizziness started taking over once again. She let out a quiet giggle before blacking out.

The last thing she felt is cold hands immediately wrapping around her.




































Frost Spirit finally put the female titan in a cozy bed. His precious eyes studying the guest.

She was beautiful, very beautiful. Gorgeous. Charming. He couldn't even find words to describe her, then he caught him thinking about it.

"Geez..." He mumbled out, talking to himself "..What the hell, Frost? Have you never seen a female before?" He buried his face into his hands, his cyan blush covering his cheeks from embarrassment. It was embarrassment, right?

The wind started blowing, whistling in a weird, laughing manner.

"Shut up." Frost Spirit hissed, and the wind seemed to weaken. As if the wind was listening to him.

The ice titan took a deep breath and looked at the female again. She called him an angel. Would be a disappointment for her that he's...not really an angel.

Frost Spirit pulled the blanket, covering the female. She was gorgeous, indeed. Her long and dark hair seemed to be so soft, her shining golden eyes were charming and the open armor in which she is, - the designer clearly had a good taste.

After a little bit of studying, his eyes expressed astonishment once again.

It's a space titan, is it not? He haven't really met a space titan, but he read a lot of ancient books with descriptions of different species. Even then, he wasn't sure in his guess.

He tilted his head, still gazing at the woman. Her body was still breathing and it's good. But she seemed so weak.

Frost Spirit noted that she probably could be ill and would need special service. He snapped his fingers out of a habit, cooing and gently dabbing her cheek. He inhaled, before starting to lull a melody.

The song was soft and calming, it would shoo away any anxiety. The tone was slow and pleasant, every word felt like a snowflake that didn't melt in your hands.

After the words, a cyan magic followed them, wrapping around the female's body. It glowed in blue shades and purely white sparkles, circling like snakes.

The woman strained her nerves, could be it's because of the magic, which was as cold as ice. Unlike the song, the magic wasn't pleasant, but was worth it.

Ironic, isn't it? Ice magic used to cure the frostbites. Though, this is possible only when you wield a truly high skill of healing, which is Frost Spirit's talent.

"How did she even get here..?" He thought aloud, magic flickering from his fingers "I don't think someone sane would go to a place like this without any equipment. At least I found her, either way she would've been frozen to death."

The ice titan weirdly looked at the guest, it's been so long after the last time someone actually visited him. Yes, he has his minions, but they are unable to feel emotions. They're unable to understand jokes, or have a different tone.

The last time someone visited him was...a disturbance from the regular world and towers, the betrayal of a tower.

He waved the negative thoughts away, he shouldn't focus on negativity. The titan gave a last glance to the woman before walking to the doorway.

"Keep an eye on her." He whispered to Frost Hero, who had just entered the room.

The minion blankly nodded, standing still. Frost Spirit gently smiled at his creation before leaving and quietly closing the door, not wishing to wake her up.

The winds kept swirling around the sleeping beauty.

He had no idea what beast did he just take in.
