Adzima POV

The hologram in the center of the room displayed a snowy mountain in Allenolla. 
Fian:“Is that mountain our next destination?” 
Falco:“Yes” 
Aditya:“It’s going to be pretty hard to get there by car” 
Falco:“That is why this time we will be using the jet this time” 
Fian and Aditya were thrilled to hear this. 
Fian & Aditya:“Really? Awesome!” 
We then followed Falco to the garage, where he walked toward the wall at the end of the room. To our surprise, the wall turned out to be an elevator. We all got in together, heading to the top floor, right below the roof.

We were amazed when the elevator doors opened, revealing not only a jet but also various types of aerial vehicles arranged neatly in this section. We all looked toward Fian, expecting him to say something, but he stayed quiet. 
Fian:“Why are you looking at me like that, guys?” 
Ina:“Usually, you or Aditya are the first to retort to moments like this, mostly you” 
Fian:“Like I said before we went to Atlantis yesterday, I’m not going to ask anymore. I’ll just follow along” 
We then boarded the jet, which was shaped like a black eagle. Since Falco didn’t need everyone to come, only Falco, Aditya, Fian, Qori, Ina, and I joined this time.

When we arrived at the snowy mountains of Allenolla, Falco landed the jet near an ice palace perched at the top. The castle, entirely made of ice, reflected the sunlight in a display of elegance and grandeur that left us in awe. As we exited the jet and approached the castle, the doors opened, and a blast of mountain cold wind hit us. The sudden chill made us all shiver, a reminder of the harsh environment we were about to enter. We braced ourselves against the cold and continued toward the shimmering palace, its majesty growing even more impressive in the frozen light.

Even though I was already wearing a jacket, I was still shivering from the cold air. As I tried to warm myself up, I felt something warm wrap around me. It turned out that Falco had taken off his coat and draped it over me, leaving himself with only a long-sleeved black turtleneck. 
Falco:“Here, wear this” 
Adzima:“Thank you, but what about you?” 
Falco:“It’s alright, I am used to the cold. I also have this” 
He pointed to his mask. I glanced at the others, who were already wearing thick coats. 
Adzima:“Where did you get those?”

Fian:“I stole them from somewhere with my ability, not sure where” 
Adzima:“And you didn’t think to steal one for me too?” 
Fian:“Do you still want one?” 
Fian raised an eyebrow at me. I hesitated for a moment before touching Falco's jacket, which was very warm. 
Adzima:“Not anymore” 
Fian and the others smirked at me. 
Fian:“Suit yourself, then” 
We then walked to the ice palace. Upon closer inspection, we noticed that the stairs and entrance gate to the castle were slightly damaged, as if they’d been attacked.

We proceeded carefully up the stairs to avoid any missteps. As we entered the castle, a loud commotion from the upper floor caught our attention. We hurried upstairs to investigate and found the noise coming from the throne room. There, we saw several people frozen in ice and Elsa engaged in a fierce battle, wielding her ice powers. We quickly joined the fight, helping Elsa fend off the attackers. However, after the battle was over, Elsa’s demeanor changed drastically. To our shock, she turned against us and, with swift movements, froze us all in ice.

Fian's POV

Falco and I managed to dodge Elsa's attacks, but the others weren’t so lucky and ended up frozen in ice. I called out to Elsa, demanding an explanation. 
Fian:“What’s going on, Elsa? Why are you attacking us?” 
Instead of responding, she launched sharp icicles at us again. I turned to Falco and asked anxiously. 
Fian:“You think she’s possessed?” 
At that moment, I noticed Elsa's eyes were swollen and had turned a dark red, showing that she had been crying for a long time. 
Falco:“I don’t think so”
