Kyoko's POV

It was dark, and cold, it felt like forever walking in a stormy snow blizzard, but, deep inside me something is telling me to keep moving forward, don't give up, you're almost there.

I felt so lonely , I wasn't sure where I was going, but something was telling me that i am going on the right path.

Just when I thought I was going to continue walking, something shiny was ahead of me, and if it's a light ahead of me, I should go and see where it leads too.

It might be a shelter or a house? I wasn't sure but as I got closer and closer the light got brighter and brighter, allowing me to see what was around me, as i approached the light, there were stairs leading up the mountain, I had the urge to just keep going, and that's what I did, I started walking up the stairs, as i got to the top, i couldn't believe my eyes.

The snow finally stopped and everything was clearer for me to see, the sun was rising over the mountains behind the place, in front of me for the entrance was a very large torii made of ice , and on the ground where cherry blossoms scattered around with red roses, the lanterns that were lit were hanging on the line knotted around the torii pole all the way to the next torii, on each side.

And as I can see going into the entrance, there's an ice castle surrounded by mountains and trees, everything covered in ice and in snow.

At first sight it looks abandoned, they're was no one around, that I could see, so I excused myself into the entrance and walked on the bridge towards the castle.

Finally I made it in front of the castle, still no one in sight, I could see different wild animals roaming around, and the nature growing around the water fountains but there was no water running, they're was bird baths on each side, large cherry blossom trees all around the yard, ice crystals hanging from the branches of the trees, and birds chirping in the distance.

I was nervous at first because I wasn't sure if there was anyone here, I mean I haven't seen anyone yet, when I came here, and still it's as though everything is abandoned and nature has taken over it.

But, I decided to work up the courage and knocked on the large silver double doors of the castle, as I had knocked four times, no one had answered me, so I put on my brave face and welcomed myself in, as I walked in, everything was made of marble, ice, silver and or gold.

And it appears that nature has grown over it all, "hello,"? I called out, wondering if anyone lived here in this majestic castle, my voice echoed, again I spoke," hello, anyone home,"? I asked,
"Hello, who's there,"? A woman's voice asked, I looked up and seen the woman on top of the balcony where the stairs led, "who are you,"? I asked her, she gaspsed and ran down stairs, "could it be,"? She asked as she approached me.

She stood in front of me, looking directly into my eyes, and then her eyes widened, "it is thee, oh how I missed you," she says as she tackles me with a hug, "tis how did you find thee place,"? She asks, but I was more confused then her, "where am I,"? I asked her, "tis this is your home, we have been waiting for thee for a very long time," she says, "we,"? I asked, "tis of course, me and my beloved mother and me brother," she says.

"Who are you,"? I asked, she smiles warmly at me and says," I am you're biological sister, tis a pleasure to finally meet thee," she says, and smiles again, "dear sister take a step back from thee," says a male voice, we both look up and see a guy who looked around my age, but older, "dear brother tis this is our long lost sister, tis thee is finally home," she says to the guy.

"We're not sure of thee if she is our sister, allow thy mother to look over thee first," says the guy, as he now walks down the stairs, "tis where is thy mother dear brother,"? Asked the girl, "tis in the garden drinking tea with thy animals dear sister," says the guy, "oh tis tea time,"? Asked the girl, "tis of course, and mother wishes to meet thy new visitor," says the guy, "tis is a wonderful day, I can't wait for thy mother to meet thee ," says the girl.

"Who are you people,"? I asked, the girl smiles, "me apologizes for thy rudeness, I am Sylvia Uba, my dear brother is Hong-Chin Uba, we are pleased to meet thy sister," says Sylvia, "come and follow us thee into thy mother's garden," says Hong-Chin, I turned to Sylvia and she just smiles warmly, again, and tells me that it's okay for me to trust them.

"Tis mother is so excited to meet thee visitor, and she will be pleased and excited to see who it is," says Sylvia.

We soon walked into a very large hallway, windows made of ice, and four chandeliers made of ice crystals hanging from the ceiling, as I looked out the windows they're was a huge red and white rose gardens , with a lot of animals.

"It is so beautiful here," i said out loud, Sylvia suddenly giggles at my reaction, and says," tis is mother's decorations, she is thy late ice queen after all," Sylvia says, "sister! Tis enough speaking to thy stranger," says Hong-Chin, finally we made it out into the garden, we made our way through the rose bushes, and passing a few larg ice fountains, and from what I can see ahead of me, theirs a very large ice pavilion, and sitting inside the pavilion is a woman who looks very familiar to me.

She was wearing a blue and pinkish kimono, her hair long and kinda silver, and around her were two deers, a cat, and a few birds, "thy mother we've brought thy visitor here to meet thee," said Hong-Chin, the woman turns around, her eyes widened, and then tears start coming down her face," oh my goodness! Tis that who thy think is thee,"? Asked the woman, "tis it is mother," says Sylvia, as we approached her , my eyes widened, and then a rush of emotions rushed through me, "m-mother,"? I asked now stuttering.

"Now my tears start coming down my face, the woman gets up and rushes up to me and hugs me tightly, "oh mama it is you,"! I said as I shouted in excitement, "oh my dear child, tis finally home," says mother, we both started sobbing as we continued hugging tightly.

"I-I thought you w-w-were d-d-dead,"? I asked her as I continued to stutter while I was still crying, she let's go of me and looks at me and smiles warmly, "no darling, tis perfectly alive and well, thy dream you had when thy were unconscious I was using thy abilities to communicate with thee in thy dream sight," says mother, "really?" I asked, "tis of course, it is thy special ability that I have thee," she says.

"I missed you so much," I said to her and hugged her tightly, again. She hugs me back, and then as she let's go of me she wipes the tears away, "tis should meet thy siblings, Hong-Chin, Sylvia, please come thy forward,"? Asked mom, both Sylvia and Hong-Chin approached us and stood next to mother.

"Tis assume you've already met thee siblings,"? Asked mother, "yes, I have, Sylvia introduced me," I said to her, "tis hope that Hong-Chin was nice too thee,"? Asked mother, as she turned to him, with a questioning look, "tis wasn't mean at all mother," said Hong-Chin, I raised an eyebrow at him, of course he's lying to her, but I wouldn't blame him because I am kinda a stranger after all, coming into a strange place that I've never been," don't blame him mom, he didn't mean any harm," I said to her and then smiled to reassure her.

"Tis of course, I do believe thee, but, I would have to teach thee more about thy manners," she says and then smiles at him, he turns in embarrassment, I could see a hint of pink on his cheeks.

"Would you like to have thy tea with us, and catch up on things,"? Asked mother, "of course, I would like that," I said to her.
